thanks, Kluski that is it. Doesn't look it would be worth the effort for the amount that shows through of the black.

Have a picture...

and where did you get the paint pen?
I got the paint pen at Target for like $3. I bought three pens. I only used about 1 and a half. But I can tell it will need some touch up so 3 is a good number.

I'll try to post some pics. They are not very good quality pics I must warn you...

:scratch: Why would one paint the NERO red? Do you know the Italian word nero = black?

No extra effort. The stickers came with the package I bought. It only took about 2 extra minutes (for both sids). But at the time I did not know if they would show or not. So I figured why not. Looks cool when the wheel is off. Which is rare.

Decals look great. Really makes a difference.

I wasn't talking about the decals they look great I was talking about the photoshop you did on the calipers for me. Where I mentioned painting the brackets and the calipers different colors. The black on the calipers doesn't show to well through the wheel. Not worth the effort. Here is a question does everyone paint the backs of the calipers also or just the parts that show. I think I know what the answer will be. Yes = Show car, No = personel baby

Oh, I thought you meant the decals.

I was at a race this weekend and saw a mustang that had the brake paint scheme you mentioned. That is the first time I have actually seen it. Looked nice. But I know what you mean about it not showing up much.

I did paint the back. But not to great lengths. I left the calipers on. So I painted all that I could see. Mine will not be in a show, at least a competition show.
