Looks better than some I've seen. More glossy. What did you use?

I did the same exact thing, but those big S-lites we have cover up all our hard work

Very good mod indeed. I believe the reason they look higher gloss than most other painted calipers is just because they are freshly painted w/ no brake dust on them yet.

I have a G2 red kit awaiting 56 degree temps to apply.

And with my 5 spoke bullets, I'll be able to see more caliper.

I'm HOPING mine turn out as pretty as these... look good!
