Lime green

So two weeks ago i was looking at some pictures of exotic's on Instagram and got the idea to try to do my own powder coat job on my calipers. Last saturday I made it my mission to sand, primer, paint Grabber green ( lime green) and clear coat them. Took forever to mask everything thing off but they came out great. Here's some pics

Looks like you did a nice job. Are you going to put Akebono stickers on them?
It'll look just right once you get those coilovers

I guess you're going for that " look at me..look at me" Look?

You didn't even remove the caliper for painting? Did you overspray on the rotor?? Damn, looks like one of the old school civic caliper jobs. Those are Akenbono man... Do it right the first time or leave them alone!

I order the Akebono stickers cause i don't like the plain look either, but for everyone else. I'm going for a different look. Yellow, red and black are so old and to be for real. I dont wanna just look like everyone else.

P.S. i need coilover's i know. badly lol
