Painted my calipers
Had free time today so I went and got the dupli-color caliper painting kit from AAP and with the help from Nate (19iroc88) it came out looking real good snapped a few quick shots below 
Front caliper before
Front caliper after
Front up on jack stands
Wheels on...
and closer shot of one..

If you get a chance, swapping to LS1 brakes makes a nice difference

I thought about other colors and played with it on photoshop and it was between black and red but I wanted a touch of color since everything else is black so red it is lol

Thats why I did red on my brother's car. That and to me, black always looks dirty when it comes to wheels/brakes.
