I like the color, but think you need a couple more coats.

How many coats did you put on.I put two coats on the front and three on the drums. Painted brakes look great. Here are mine.

Yeah, looks pretty good, but might want another coat or two. I put 3 or 4 coats on mine. 1 or 2 more coats should make it even brighter red.

Yeah, I made the mistake of only putting 2 coats on mine, I would suggest another coat or 2 as well, not to beat a dead horse. but they do look good . I went with black.....boring, I know.Ryan at grafxwerks has some nice pontiac badges designed for brake calipers, just a thought. It may look nice.

I masked and spray painted mine. It took a long time to mask but I thought it was worth it in the end.You can't tell by the picture, but it's that color that changes from copper to green
