Brembo or Wilwood red with F Sport logo on them. Thank You for positive feedback.

Carefully removed the stickers and voila!! I used VHT Caliper paint from Autozone. Very durable and looks great!!

Thank you. Do you feel that the VHT is as bright red as Brembo or Wilwood calipers in their reds? The VHT has stood up well over time? One paint I was looking at (expensive spray can with activator) must be used within under 8 hours. No chance of doing calipers individually. Would prefer a VHT or similar if color is bright. I have F Sport heat resistant stickers that are going to fit.

I'm guessing you are just the type of guy that lubed the muffler bearings and refilled the blinker fluid while you were doing the brake swap. Ya gotta baby those Lambos.
