Default ooo painted my brakes finally :D

So after like over a year of looking at the gross rusty crusty brake mechanics behind my 10 spoke chrome wheels, I decided it was time to finally do the dirty deed, and go ahead and paint my calipers red and paint the rusty, non pad contact areas of the rotors black. I used Rust Oleum black in a brush on can for the rotors and Duplicolor red caliper brush on paint for the calipers. Tonight I only got the rears completed, and in my opinion I think they look ultra sexy red I must say. I was debating between black and red but I'm liking the red a lot. What do you guys think?





How they looked before:


Much better, I still however need to take the wheels off one of these days and spray the inner wheel centers black, the cheap 1 layer of chrome behind the spokes is all pitted and covered in brake dust now

They look good but if that was your definition of "Ultra Sexy" we need to get you out of the house more
