No, sorry, no pics. It's black paint anyway, I was going to the subtle thing. The paint levels itself to a nice smooth finish. If you go that route just make sure you let it dry extra long.

I got mine on ebay too.

Good caliper paint, overall. I hope nobody actually uses this stuff to paint their brake drums, even if the box says that's what it can be used for. Unless it's on a Honda, then it might be ok, if not expected.

I don't like the ones that look like someone just sprayed them on. *ugh*

Would it turn out the same on a WRX ? Since we do not have the caliper covers would it come out like that ? I have seen painted WRX calipers and it looks poo poo. Can some one who has done this kit post up a pic and we can all see it.
