Been thinking for a while about painting the brake calipers on my Torch Red GT. I'm thinking about either red or black. I'm leaning more towards red though. I was wondering, for you guys that have painted yours...I want to get mine as close to my body color as possible. What kind of red did yours turn out to be? I don't want it to clash against my body color. You know? Or since I'm planning on getting my black shelby stripes, should I go with black calipers? What do you guys think? I have the optional wheels so the red might stand out more.

Def RED! You wont see the black especially if you dont clean the wheels regularly.

What does the kit consist of? I can't find the kit on the website, only the paint for $5.29.

Mine was just the paint itself and an applicator brush.I think only some stores sell the brush to go along with the paint, but any small brush will do to get into the tight spaces

I picked up the kit last night. $15. Consists of a bottle of caliper cleaner, caliper paint, a mixing stick, a paint brush, a roll of masking tape, and instructions. I'll let you know how it works next month (hopefully).
