Yeah, I actually like the look of 16s with a thicker tire better than 18s with a thin tire. I got 16s for the winter because I get studded winter tires and they can get pretty pricey as well when you try to get them in low profile 18s.

I painted mine red two years ago with the kit from the auto parts store now its sheading and flaking. I did it in Dec. the garage was cool but not cold I wonder if that make it flake?
I cleaned them real good before I painted them.
I need to do it again because I dont like the way they look now.
Recomendations for brand of paint for the Red?

I highly recommend the G2 kit. I think most will agree.

Red looks awesome.

Was one G2 paint set enough for all four calipers? On the G2 site it mentions you might need two.

One kit was enough to do all four of my calipers.

Not exactly a vanity shot, but here's a picture of one of my calipers 6 years after painting and applying the high-temp decals:



Any imperfections are lighting or brake dust... The paint has held up incredibly well, as have the decals. I added no clearcoat or barrier layer on top of the decals by the way -- they look just as good as they did when I applied them.

"....Also, I cleared the stickers on with nail polish. Just to make sure they dont start to peel."


Nooo....KRYLON "Crystal Clear" spray.

Quick spray over them. Self leveling. Wont even know its there.

Dont use nail polish.
