No problem. Thanks, I just didn't like how much gold there would have been with my wheels being gold as well.
Noticed your in Cincy, I'm going to be up that way next weekend.

Oh cool man. I'll be here. What are you coming up for?
btw I may come your way eventually, I may possibly be making a trip to NVA-AV6 for a 6spd swap (VA).
Do it Matt, Jmiller's black sedan looked great with purple calipers.
EDIT: Painted mine gold, pics in the "what did you to your Accord today" section. And sorry for the threadjack OP.

Guess my mention of the thread the pics were in wasn't clear enough. lol j/k I declare these are in response to OP's picture request. 
EDIT: I used VHT High Temp Engine Enamel - Gold. Just applied it today @ 123k miles. Applied two light coats and one heavier coat within an hour.

it would be helpful to include things like...type of paint used...how long the calipers have been painted(either in years/months/miles) with each picture...i have seen tons of painted calipers in real life and they all look like crap most of the time...i would like to see what kind of paint will last for years...i'm OCD and nothing looks worse than peeling paint to me...
i'm sure everyone's calipers look awesome as soon as they paint them...but it doesn't matter if 2 months later they look horrid...

^Agreed. Edited my post.
I also can't stand peeling paint, I'd rather look at that bare gray with brown corrosion than a peeling caliper. I think a lot of people use non-temp type spray cans. We'll have to see how mine stand the test of time. I think the gold will help hide some of the brake dust a bit.

My buddy lives in florence and we are going to the Indy Race at KY motor speedway. We'll be out in Newport I'm sure Friday and Saturday nights.
6spd = win.
Edit my post above to include the details. And I'm like you, I'm OCD and hate peeling paint.
