Looks like Orange to me. I would have gone with a darker red. I also am going to take my calipers off when i paint them. I am going to paint mine the color of your car.

Now you just need some wheels that will show them off better.

I've got a car show tomorrow and I still haven't done my back ones.

That was good, but are yours 9" wide

just trying to help, but I think it looks much cleaner when you paint the calipers without the pads in them, and then paint the pads another color (black?). I did mine a couple weeks ago, I'm super-happy for the money invested. It's also not hard to bleed the brakes, don't be afraid to disconnect them to make the process easier. I used my sister as the "pedal operator" when I bled the brakes and it usually only took 5-8 pumps.

The caliper should have been degreased a little better. Looks like it fisheyed on you bad.
