Thanks man. We were quite surprised when we saw just how good it turned out. I was shocked that a $36 dollar paint kit could do such an amazing job. They actually look shinier than the factory red calipers.

looks good! Do you have any close up shots? I'm curious how the up-close finish looks like with the kit...

Sure, this is the closest shot I have. The epoxy paint dries to a smooth, glossy finish, sorta like how women's nail polish does, so even if you see brush marks when you apply the paint, it ends up curing to a smooth finish.
