And here totally screwed up and tried to strip the paint using aircraft paint remover and it was the biggest mistake I've ever made. Inconstant condition and totally boned the primer. Never again.
Don't do what I did and just prep and paint the factory color. So pissed all the effort of removing the calipers and it turned out not perfect like I wanted. I'm sending them out for powder coat soon as possible

Next time I paint my calipers, I will definitely take more time between colors. That was my biggest mistake and best lesson learned this go-round.

Yay another member with an Arkym Diffuser instead of a Wald Diffuser. I approve! 
Can you show me some up close pictures of your installation? I'm re-doing my diffuser because there are gaps near the bottom when it curves. Also be sure to check if there are any pressure points because I didn't check before and now I have 3 paint chip because the actualy diffuser digs into the bumper.
I think I'm going to double up the tape where it curves so it sits flushed.

Tried going for some sunset pictures last night, but missed the perfect time by about 15-20 minutes. I also didn't like how the front shots turned out, something about the perspective of a 35mm lens makes the car look off. So instead, here's a rear shot.
235/40 & 265/35 PSS setup.

Those look great! I am wanting to do mine the same color. Did you remove the calipers from the vehicle (& thus have to bleed them all?) or did you just mask around them pretty well? I'd imagine you can do it either way, but they'd probably come out better if they are off the car. Anyway, yours sure turned out awesome.
