Decided to try something different.
I decided to paint my calipers but decided to try something different besides red. The company I got it from had the color represented slightly different on their website. I thought it was going to be more of copper tone but turned out to be much brighter. What do you guys think? Should I give them a try? They're going on a black C5 along with a set of D/S rotors.

That was the idea but I was expecting something closer to atomic orange rather than hemi orange.
