"big reds"
The cost was about $30 for the paint; $24 for the decals and my mechanic's time about 3 hours of labor ($195). He took the calipers off. Not necassary, but I wanted to make sure the job looked professional. I had considered buying big reds but decided that they weren't necassary yet. This was a cost effective alternative.

by the way, I was going to powder coat them the way Robin Sun had done. When I called trhe company he used, they told me it would be a2 - 3 week wait. I decided painting was a better alternative.

Alex/akolodesh,
Very nice! Looks like quality job! Next time I'm painting mine, I'm buying the decals like you did. I preserved my old ones by just masking them. Here's a pix when I was working on them.

Agro1 - if memory serves me correctly, you got in a pretty serious flame contest in the past (Like your weak avatar that you were called out on). personally I thought your comment about "small red" was pretty funny. I wonder if you mention "say it ain't so" to Dan because you can't believe he would say something positive about painted calipers. If that is the case, I think you should leave your comments "at the door." The purpose of my post was simply to show others on this site that there is an alternative to "big reds". The alternative certainly isn't performance oriented. It is purely aesthetic - and the wonderful thing about aesthetics is that they truly are in eye of the beholder.

My comment to Dan was in no way meant to detract from how good your calipers "look" but moreso in the hope that he would not follow suit.

To all, there is no need to go back an forth with each other. Luke (agro1) was just giving me Sh-t (and I know it) and I was just giving him some. It's all in good fun. What do they say "opinions are like a--holes everyone got one."
