painting calipers...

i have a red g37, and i was thinking about painting the calipers red.... but im not really sure because, i guess its pretty much impossible to get the paint off after you put it on? So... im not really sure i'd like it/if it'd look good.

anyone have pics?

If not done perfect, painting the stockers will make them look generic IMO.

Home painted stock calipers look cheap. Leave them alone.

If you do get them painted, gosh, please have them done professionally... Buying spray paint from home depot and spraying away doesn't do justice...

The stock ones are really nice for STOCK.
