All in all, this is a VERY easy (and cheap) improvement.

Where are you in Texas? I'm in McKinney.

How about red calipers/black sticker on a black 450h? Too dark?

If you Dallas/Plano guys want to get together, I'm game. Why don't you purchase your vinyl lettering/logos. Once everyone has them (and the paint), heck I'll host a "caliper painting" party at my place in McKinney.

Nice that a hi temp caliper paint is available now. I ended up removing and having the calipers on a 911 I used to have powdercoated after my painting bubbled up from the heat. I had used an engine paint but not exhaust paint and it lasted only about two weeks before starting to make a mess.

Anyone doing this is well advised to remove their caliper and mask it well. The fronts can be swung around without breaking the line loose; rears too IF they use a flexible line to the caliper.
