   I cant add pics but I did mine red for a tenner from Halfords and 30mins of painting and IMHO it looks good and worth it.

   mine are glittery gold and look ace. never do your calipers or hubs red! every chav in town has red. i just put the yellow vtr badges on mine. IMO if you do your callipers yellow it will take the attention away from the badges.

    you don't have to remove the caliper. you can buy kits which are specifically for painting calipers, and should have instructions.
