I used the color matched G2 paint for my inferno orange 10 Camaro and it came out great. You get plenty enough paint to do four calipers. When you are applying it, it kind of seems like your getting brush strokes in it but it flows together while drying. A standard color would cost a lot less than the $99 I paid for color match.

Do what you want to do. It is your ride. My opinion: I'd pass on the effort and stay with what you've got. It already looks great.

I asked for honest opinions and I appreciate the thoughts. I wanted to get opinions from other F-150 owners and not just from my teenage son! He doesn't do rice, but his ideas have a slightly younger perspective!

I don't want to do any real mechanical mods, since this is a "business" vehicle. So what say you regarding painting the calipers red with epoxy paint? Still too rice?

No... Cobras have had red painted calipers for a while, so have Porsches, Ferraris, etc...

Most "ricers" I've seen have not painted the calipers because there is real work involved in that... most have spinner hub-caps or powder-coated rims (rich ricers)

I used epoxy spray paint in red and it looks good to me!
