Stock color looks better. Black on red is so ugly. At least it looks like you did a decent job painting them though.

Should paint the calipers red, move the SS badge down and paint the white inside black.

When you do it, use an oven... Hair dryer/heat gun FTL

Bake them, 150* - 200* for 10-15 min... Don't bother peeling off the silicon.

Paint them, let it dry, then re-bake them for 15 min.

Pull them out, quickly run a bead of AVS Gasket Silicon in the groove then reseal them up.

You could use some electrical tape to hold them together to keep them from separating.

Oh ok. They looked very dark blue on my screen for whatever reason. Maybe its just the lighting. Nice work.
