They look great. Did you use the POR15 kit? Funny 15 mph sign behind the car.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

15 mph-that's why you need the brakes!

I used acetone to prep and VHT caliper paint. Three fairly thin costs. It runs easily.

I was asked about the wheels. They are Competizone gunmetal. I got them from Allison's.

I think they work well on that white/black car.
Not so sure they would look good on other cars of a different color, but they look really good on your's!

I love red calipers, painted them on the 77, 20 years ago and still like it!! I'll do it again this time around. Also painted all the trailing arms red...
