yea i knoe ders a little over spray but u cant see once wheels are installed.. not bad.. but make sure u clean and sand them off pretty good or else paint wont stick.. take ur time and tape off and cover up any and everything u dont want paint over spray onto.. like hte ground and all the parts under the car..

Looks nice, good job

I was thinking of doing mine in black or blue when I get some new rotors.

There are several differnt kits for doing this job. I used the brush-on kit from Wal-Mart. I think I spent a whole $15 on it, enough cleaner, paint, and tape for all four Calipers and or drums. All the colors you all have mentioned are available. I would recomend getting a second brush however; thick paint and it sets quick.
