Hey, did you guys remove them from the car or just mask off the break lines
and etc.... What kind of paint did you use? How long in between coats
and how many coats did you do?
<BR>Thanks

<BR>I Painted the calipers on my RED GLX a pale yellow. I felt that
red was too

looks good,

and don't look
<BR>too terrible dirty either.
