wow...literally? it looks bad. like poo... unless you like the look of poo... which, based on you last post...you might.

painting brake calipers the same color as the car, is like getting colored window tint to match the color of the car...either way... its ricer.

Isn't your car silver? Why in the hell would you have blue calipers with a silver car?

I still need to paint mine black. The blue has been driving me crazy.

I would go with black or red IMO.

EDIT: I did think about mixing up Sonic Blue but changed my mind.

when i got my car it was riced out before it was wrecked.. big time.. I had 18 inch falken wheels. the interior lights blue when u open the doors, it had a box in the trunk so big that the ppl i got it off of wouldnt take out becuz it involved removing the back seats. and had multiple cig burns in the ceiling.

jus make sure you get the brush-on paint for your calipers.
Don't use that spray ****...brake dust will make it look like *** in a week.
