I like red too, but I am not sure if i would have done the entire caliper like that. I would have left the pads alone, but that's me.
On my G35, i painted them silver. I just wanted them to look clean.
I painted them red on my other car, along with the rotor hats silver to look clean and new. You can see what i mean about not doing the pads and support bracket. I prefer this way, but to each his own

it was easier this way, i didnt even remove the wheels to paint the calipers lol it was a mess, i used masking tape and still had drips on my wheels i had to buff em out to get rid of the little red spots, my last car was silver with black theme goin on, i had em silver, i was gonna do silver on the G but my friends convinced me to do red lol

Well i'm ****. I took the calipers and brakes all off the car to paint. If you look closely, you can even see the fins inside the rotor are painted silver to match and the backside of the rim is brake dust free. Even the center cap lines up with the valve stem. I have way too much free time on my hands.
I'm not the same way with my G35 unfortunately. It's a 22K mile per year DD, so it just won't stay as spotless

The emblem looks alright, not diggin the color on the brakes though, but to each their own.
Best of luck to you taking those pads off though, looks like you painted them onto the caliper.
Where did you manage to get those decals now? I need to get another set for my new brakes, and can't find em anymore.
