Just clean them real good with brake cleaner and paint them.. Do a couple coats.. Black Calipers are fine u don't want them to stand out unless u are rockin a $3,000 bbk or sumtin..

alright, i'm off from work tomorrow. i will be doing that, i tried searching for some DIY's, but i couldn't find any. i've never taken the brakes off, is it simple enough to just look at it and disassemble it, or is there anything i should know beforehand?

Not a fan of black wheels, but u did a good job, and it doesn't really matter what I think anyways, as long as u like it! Nice car, I'll have my G in about 6 weeks when I get back from Afghanistan...

well dang, a bunch of people liked it, and a bunch of people said they would have chosen a different color. I just couldn't stand looking at the old curbed rims anymore, and i can't afford new ones, so i decided to do this. in a week or two maybe i'll spray them a different color. oh, and being 18 with one of these is pretty nice.. haha.
