Sprayed calipers. Thoughts?

[BigDaddyPham]

I sprayed my calipers red yesterday but only did the front. How do you guys think they look? And should I do the back as well?

Would of preferred a deeper, shinier red

Looks good now go and get the rears done to match!

Are those the Stock wheels painted black? if so I may just have to do that to mine.
What did you use?

I plasti dipped the stock wheels. It looks so much nicer when they're blacked out. I highly recommend it!

Yeah the 17's look tiny in silver, Much better in black! I'm going to be on the look out for some PP wheels for mine and will keep the stockers for winter.

Try the 3m caliper wrap, did mine in blue and it looks really good, and no it does not melt at high temps, it is reflective and at night it has a nice effect, I've seen the red at night and it looks like it's red hot as it picks up ambient light, they sell it on eBay and like I said its from 3m so it's not cheap stuff, I've had mine for two months with some hard driving and breaking and it has not degraded in any way, and breaks do not get hot either, it's not for everyone but I like it and I get compliments all the time.

Looks dipped. I wouldn't dip the calipers personally. G2 caliper paint is only $40 and looks professionally done when just painted one- plus doesnt cover the backs of the pads making a rubbery gummy mess.

ouch......
Sorry, that looks like a half ass job. You should of atleast tried to not paint the brake pad / rotor hat.

I vote you go back and hit everything with a gallon of paint thinner.

RICE
And maybe save up for real black wheels and not spray paint a brand new beautiful car...Ouch :(

Wheels look way better black than that obnoxious sparkle silver. I think the non-pp calipers look better stock though.

Saving up for real black wheels is exactly what I'm doing. Obviously these plastidipped wheels are temporary. Rather than driving around with the ugly silver wheels

For about 400 bucks you can have all 4 wheels powder coated.

I hate my factory silver 18" wheels and 235 Pirellis but to shake up a can of rubberized spray paint and go to town on my 2014 Mustang is cheesy bake ricereroni to me.
I'm slowly putting the $1750 aside for 20" charcoal staggered set. If it's next July when I have it, so be it.
Here's a set of factory brakes meant to be noticed... And painting the bargain basement el cheaplo tiny factory calipers a bright color where you will see them better, just calls attention to the fact that you have (and i have) no braking power but want to play Brembo race crew.

Those 400 bucks are better served going to the new wheels no?
There's no way in hell Id waste $400 on the stockers

Did ours in red too....including the rears!! Got the stickers off ebay and voila... I think they look way better!
