I Painted My Brake Calipers

I used the G2 kit from ebay ($34.99) and painted them this afternoon. I spent about half an hour to clean the brakes extra good (thanks for the advice Randall) I used the entire can of brake cleaner. I then mixed the stuff and waited 5 minutes. I painted the heaviest on top (where people would see it) and only did about 2 thin coats on the underside. The paint was great, Ive used that duplicolor stuff, but this was 10 times better. The paint flattened into a sheet of color instead of showing brushmarks. The total project was about an hour and a half and one of the best upgrades ive done. Not a speck of brake dust dirtied my brush. I will put my wheels back on this weekend (its on 4 jack stands) and will take pics after I put on my Porsche logos from xenonmods.com. Oh ya, I took my bumperettes to get painted today with my diffusers. They were painted today and I will pic them up tomorrow. So I will start a show and tell thread with my brakes, bumperettes, and diffusers when I put them on this weekend.
Here are some pics (they are done, but still wet)
