looks really good, I would paint the "Mazda" in silver as well. This pretty much looks like what I was planning on doing this summer.

WTF? You painted the back of the brake pads on the rear.
Too much RED .
Kinda like when you were a kid & painted your bike without stripping the frame. Everything is the same color, tires, chain, sprockets.
I wouldn't have painted the rotors the same color, black would look way beter.
Do something with the MAZDA name on the front calipers. Silver or black would look good.

I've been getting the same replies about my interior as well. That's the beauty of being in America, everybody is entitled to their own opinion. You may not really like but I love it and that is what really matters. I appreciate all of the constructive criticism and suggestions. When I decided to paint my interior, rotors, and calipers, I wanted to be different. From the looks of things I think I have succeded. I do plan on polishing the MAZDA on the calipers once the paint has really cured well. If you want to see what too much red is check my web page below.

Hey Node maybe you've been watching too many episodes of the A-Team.

I pity the fool.
