Default Brake Calipers Painted

Hello everyone, I just painted my Brembos red with G2 caliper paint. It was only about $45 but also a long 9 hours of labor. I think it turned out great and it is supposed to last the life of the car.

I jacked the car up, removed the wheels, prepped the calipers with brake cleaner, and painted the calipers while still on the rotor. After the paint cured I added some R&G High temp Brembo vinyls.
