Well I finally got around to fitting my re painted calipers, big thanks to "Crusin", so thought I would post some pics.

Dont slam me for it being on the wrong car, I know this is a Liberty forum.

Its a WRX and not an STI so apart from liking red calipers anyway I wanted to keep the WRX theme.

Yes Mark sadly that was my fault :cray: :cray:

I done it when doing a trial fit with the wheel. It is unfortunately a downside of the paint in that it can chip easily if you are not carefull :( Subaru must use a powder coat or some type of enamel 'cos my 4 pots didnt mark as easy. I knew I would have to be carfull when taking the wheels off/on. I guess I will just have to be more carefull from now on. It has since been touched up so you cant see it now :D

Color suggestions for my set up?

At this stage I'm thinking a dark grey (gunmetal / charcoal) with red or black sticker but I can't decide!!!

Any ideas?

I find something that contrasts rather than blends in looks better. I went blue decals on silver on my black Liberty.

The other option I thought about was yellow with black sticker but I'd rather a darker color so it's less obvious when they're dirty :lol:
