17" Web Spoke Rim with Red Calipers

Does anyone have a photo with this rim and red calipers? I am thinking about painting my caliper with G2 red eposy paint on my Pepper White Clubman S 2008 and was curious if it would look ok overall, I think the red caliper with the nice rim will really make my clubman S look nice, any thoughts?? I jsut can't visualize it. Photos anyone? Thanks

Painting calipers is alot of work especially if you want to do it right.
Make sure to have these tools or equipment.
brake pad spreader
rear brake caliper piston reset socket
brake bleeder
wire brushes
masking tape
1200 degree primer
1200 degree paint
After painting, paint must dry or cure for 24 hrs.

Red Calibers look great with any Wheel! They go together like Peas and Carrots

Thanks guys, I am just going to use the G2 Caliper Epoxy Paint sysem for my factory calipers. I think it should look pretty good and seems pretty easy. I can't wait to get it done, would love to see some photos of other peper whites with Web Spoke Rims and red calipers if they are out there. Thanks
