Decided to give front calipers a lick of paint. They are still ugly but better than stock brake dust covered look :)

Black should hide brake dust better too :)

I did them on the car and with the pads in...
I just tried to mask off as carefully as possible. Less than 2 hrs from jacking up the car to getting it down.

Now need to find time and motivation to do rears ...

Much better. I did it with my SV6 as you can't have too much black on a black car

The great thing is the calipers disappear totally.

Great job Ron, a real stealth look. What colour is your car?
