so i was browsing a couple websites and found this nifty gallery: http://www.s2katlanta.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=299
and i was wondering if i painted my calipers myself, is it alright to paint the actual brake pads? cuz this dude did, but doesn't that mean everytime i change my brakes i have to repaint them? lmk thanks :D

well think about it logically...

you paint the brake pads...
you change the brake pads...
are the new ones the old color?
if not, you'll have to repaint the new ones

well then if i do paint my calipers, i should take off the pads before hand then mask off everything?

Why not just leave the contrast of the brake pad? It's black or whatever, who cars, worse comes to worse you just spray the new set of pads before you put them in....no big deal.
