Wow that looks great, good job man.
Yeah, like the guy up here, I'd like to know what colors you considered before going with red. Would yellow stick out too much on the black? I'd like mine painted yellow, but I don't know.

well not really... black/red is my theme so i didnt really want to go too overboard and start throwing in other colors. the rims and car were already black so i wanted something that would draw attention to the aftermarket rotors and look cool when someone looks over and see's me driving around.
mainly what got me on the black/red was i was able to pick up some black/red leather seats for a good price. originally i was going to do black/grey and have some custom seats made, but this was an easier route to go and looks a little more sporty.

you cant really do the edges on the front ones, the rear ones you could, but the rear calipers are kinda small, dont wanna make it look like i painted the entire brake. Want people to see they're rotors and not drum brakes.

yea just make sure whatever you're using that it is high temp paint. i mean black would look tight, the only reason i didnt do it was b/c i wanted it to stand out behind the black rims.
