Painting stock calipers.

Painting stock calipers.
Your opinion on the color I paint them would be appreciated. I'm gonna paint them very soon with the G2 kit I have heard about on this forum. I just can't decide what color. I got an infiniti caliper sticker set for 8.50 on ebay also. The wheels I buy in the future will be all black as well. Varrstoens or coupe 19's. I am going to upgrade rotors soon but not the calipers, FYI.

I used this paint and probably have the same stickers you found (the mt. fuji emblem)
Just a light rub down w/ steel wool, a spray w/ degreaser & a good rinse. Then you just shoot the calipers after taping off what you don't want painted and drive it hard w/ a lot of braking to bake in the paint. I ventilated the spray away from the car so no overspray issues. Haven't taken any pics of just the calipers but here's a couple pics of the front brakes for reference.

Wheels are in the future, I don't have 2k to spend right now. I just want to keep myself busy with the car. I am going to paint them black most likely. That shouldn't attract any extra attention to them but when you look close at the wheels it will look clean. ***, its threads like this that nudge me towards a Akebonos or Stoptechs etc......Thanks for all your input guys.
