black :)
or a nice dark bronze also, that "high heat" paint mumbojumbo is a sell tactic. i sprayed my calipers with one light coat of "import spray" from wal mart and never saw any peeling or bubbling.. 2 years of autocross and they were fine.. Last edited by Tamago; 12-19-2008 at 01:47 PM. |

Black. I did mine black and used a small paint brush. No messy paint spray.
