Any Pics of painted brake calipers on Protege's
I was thinking of painting the Brake Calipers on my 02.5 Protege ES (Silver) either silver or black and was wondering if anyone had pics of this.
I painted on the ones on Vette Red and like the look (after sig pic was taken), just wanted something more lower profile for the protege.

I painted mine as well, but I painted them green to match my car. I figured if I painted them red Id look like a freaking christmas tree. I figured if I painted them yellow, someone would be asking if I were advertising for sprite.

*DO NOT USE* 'Duplicolor Engine Enamel' !
Worst crap ever!!
The Plastikote Engine Enamel was VASTLY superior in coverage and consistency.
(Props to AutoZone for taking back a half empty can!) "Did you shake it enough?" Yeah. Turns can over and shows the dents from shaking the pi$$ out of it to make it work...
