Anyone with silver painted brembos?

Hello, I'm looking to change the color of the grey brembos to silver with g2 caliper paint. I hope to make it look like the brembos on the chevy ss. I have black rims and think it would stand out a lot more. Has anyone done this? curious to see how this would turn out before I order the paint.

Maybe ask chrisvr6 via a post in the Photoshop Request Thread if he can create a photoshop image of what they might look like.

That look sweet! Definitely going that route. It stands out a lot more without being to bright of a color like yellow or red (not that they don't look good).

Did mine couple of years ago in silver. Cleared over the stickers so cleaning is a breeze & they still look good as new.

I was actually wanting 1LE Brembos. These SS brakes were a steal. Now I need to get the back to match.

Geeeez you guys are killing me with these pictures I wanna get it done now but have to wait until Tuesday, haha seems so far away. I love how those look on gloss black rims, I've always wanted the 1le rims but with how much they cost (if you can find them) I keep thinking that can go towards something better.

Is their any difference with the 1le brembos besides it being painted red? I agree the red does look great but silver is just something you don't see much on cars ( which is why I had to make this thread lol) plus, I think it would work well on my cars color combo. Summit white with black rims.

The 1LE brakes are identical to regular SS brakes, except for their red color.

Little update, got the paint today and went to town. Very happy with the change it stands out a lot more. Will be putting on the red brembo decals tomorrow.
