you referring to me lol?

[qwikredline]

^^^^ I think traditional color is best, matching what you already have. So useful exercise and I am sure Sweet will be happy with his choice...

[Omiotek]

yeah they look good but too dark of red for a black car.......so john you never gave me a straight answer on that solor rain... how do you think that would look for calipers only?

Candy is sex if done properly. These look pretty good. I can haz a close-up piktar plz?

[Garret]

Need retros or paint housings, otherwise looks minty

[I XsTaT1c I]

I like that snow pic....

[doogie_13]

I like the pic too, I'm just sayin the calipers don't stand out enough in it to draw the eye IMO.
Just wanted to see one that was a little more close up is all.

i think it would disappear. put it this way I will sell your coated ones on saturday and start over if you want.

[qwikredline]

I am finding that if you use a primary color - red/yellow whatever - you have to clear it in the pc process to get the shine and have it stand out. Otherwise its kinda matte. But if you candy color, it stands out because you clear the caliper anyway in a 3 step process - substrate/color/clear

[SillyBILLY.]

Mine aren't cleared are they?

Not super shiny, but they are bright

then again, yours were the first pc'd brembo's, mine were second. Bit of a learning curve since then.
