that looks quite neat, im not a fan of painting calipers (apart from black) but that does suit the car well

That looks great, very nice result.

Was that achieved with the calipers on the car, or did you have to remove them?

yeah did em on the car!!, just used a small paint brush then used one of me kids tiny paint brushes for the tricky bits!!!, when i change discs and pads this year i will repaint again!!! as certain bits i maynot have been able to do!!, paint was dry in 1.5 hours!!! only gave it one coat as didnt want a 'to thick' appearance!!, ill see how it holds on with 'hot' braking!!
