I'm searching for a silver or pewter kit. I scrapped the red idea. Look too much like ricey wilwoods.

hey eurogoldls on yours i would deffinitly go for the silver or greyish look it will match your truck and not look retarded , like red on silver i would stay close to what color theme you have or want to make you happy thats what counts when you do a mod is making yourself happy with it.

i used the paint that swartlkk is talkin about, but i didnt get the kit with the brush, i just got the spray cans. but i love it, it actually does repel brake dust like it said. i also painted parts of the rotors too. obviously not the part that the brake hits, but it looks really cool, especially the ones in the back.
you cant see it in my pics cuz those pics are from before i did it.

i would try the siver or something like that. if you did red or orange it woulnd stand out too mch i think and look bad. thats why i am going w/ black, nothing really matches mine and black looks better than the unpainted color now

I looked at autozone tonight and it is like $19.99 or $29.99 depending on which brand you get and if it is brush based or spray can based.

I think the blue would be the wrong color blue for blznlowxtreme as I think it is brighter.

From the looks of the kits I saw, I would go with the black one or the silver. But thats just me.

i used the red on mine. it really doesnt match my paint at all...but the calipers and rotors are far away enough from the fenders, that it looks like it matches. this is the only pic i have on my pc of the frnt. i took some yesterday but havent put them online yet.
