Need your guy's quick opinion(brake caliper painting)

Gotta give you guys with the hundreds and thousands of "posts" - kudos! Where do you get the time??

I repainted my TT's calipers as they were peeled and faded when i bought the car. I'm all for a stock look, but like the nickel plating. Make sure to use spray paint. I used the pelican paint and wish it were smoother. It did self level, but not as much as i would have liked. You cant tell unless you are cleaning the caliper or the wheels are off. It is very glossy though.

I love yellow, but because that's reserved for PCCB's, it wasn't an option.

All the cool kids have green calipers

I'm thinking of powder coating mine blue.

Some tyres with tread may be an option !!

This is a friend's 944 Turbo. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it but it's grown on me. I think it goes well with some colors.

I love the titanium and copper/gold.

It's easy to get too much distraction going on what with wheel, trim and caliper colours. Gotta keep the whole picture in mind...

I like the uniqueness as long as it fits with the car. I sure don't understand the Italian flag colors though on a German car.

Did you figure out how to read yet? There are words to go with those pretty pictures, you know.
I know, reading is soooooo hard!

Here's a clue; no one is talking about putting Italian flag colors on a German car

What do you guys think of doing something like these, but layered like the red white and green and instead with the German colors?? Tacky or no??
