Whats wrong with painting them Red? You dont think yellow and red look good together?

Re: easy or not

I would say that red would look better because it would look more professional, and if anyone knows about that website to paint it would be appreciated and if anyone knows or has a protege stencil to put on the calipers.

I have a yellow P5 and plan on painting my calipers in the spring...and when I paint them...it will be YELLOW... Why follow everyone else in red? I'm going to be different

I think yellow would look awesome.. but things usually look more awesome in my mind than in real life! =P.

Someone photoshop it and show us all? =)

I painted mine metallic blue. My P5 is white and I think it looks awsome. When I get home I'll take pics and post them.

Does anyone know where i can get a diagram or pics on how to disassemble the calipers so I can paint them? I have never changed breaks before, but I am mechanically inclined.

ANY help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
