A Touch of Class

Today, I took the day off preparing for this weekend's Mazda Rev it Up in Chicago. I needed to finish my brake calipers since I only had one from last weekend. So here is the end result with an added touch. I haven't seen anyone do this on here yet but if they have, I am sure one of our resident experts with their photo-graphic memory will let us know. I have posted these on the Caliper DIY thread too. Here is the wide shot of the driver's side.

BTW, the center hub on the wheel is spray painted in Velocity Red. I got my order today from a place called touchpaint or something like that. RX8Lover suggested this place for buying custom mixed paints either by the oz. or spraycan. I got the spray can in the base color, the primer and the clear coat. I have a front air dam I bought damaged that I am repairing and this is the paint for it, too.

The calipers and hubs are from a kit that Duplicolor makes for calipers. Available at a store near you. :D It's a brush on type paint. 3 coats each and it's fast drying.

Green? You know, I have never seen anyone with a Nordic Green doing anything like this. Come on your greens, bring it on!
