I just thought I'd add a little spice to my bone stock GA SE1. In good sunny lighting I think they look great. enjoy.

i like my drums red!!! lol

I used Duplicolor caliper paint, used the spray can. About $7.00 at autozone.
I just cleaned them, taped everything off good and it went on like a charm.

I never tried the spray, I used the paint kit where you brush it on, I hate over-spray. Looks good, but keeping them nice and red sucks. :( And your tires are half brown!

i didn't have any overspray issues at all. It went on nice and clean. Just made sure I taped EVERYTHING off. haha

I taped off the rotor and any other brake part that I didn't want red (also used paper towel as a cover so I didn't have to use soo much tape.) I also taped off the fender by the wheel well and used some paper as a shield so IF any overspray drifted the paper would just catch it. For the drums I just removed them and squirted them. Thats about it. easy 15 min project.
