you're probably gonna want brush on unless you take the caliper completely off the car.....

I took mine off, disassembled them, and had them powdercoated a navy blue metallic. Not too thrilled with the results, but then again I chose the color.

I'm debating the same thing, Black or Red, red is kinda showy though, yellow isn't too bad either but I don't think I want yellow.

What do you guys do with the rear set?

I always see pics of the fronts, but never the whole car side.

Most people paint the rears, and leave the decal off of them cause there a little small for the decal.

I did the g2 system in black a few years ago with red S2000 stickers (Sebring car). Some of the paint flaked off up front when I used race pads for a summer autocross. Regular Texas driving has caused no other deterioration.
