Another set of powder coated SVX brakes

Sunvalley Ray is the proud papa of another set of powder coated SVX calipers and brackets. He chose red, my personal favorite caliper color. I can't wait to see these installed on his car.

Here they are:

These look slightly pink. Do they look more red in person?

Re: Another set of powder coated SVX brakes

Just call 'em "Cherry Blossom Red" and put on some STI decals... call it good....


But they do look very clean and well done.

They are as red as red can be. I took these at dusk in my kitchen, without a flash. The digital camera really added some pink. You should see the closeup shot I took of one - very Barbie-esque and not indicative at all at the real redness.

Ray sent me these already powder coated, So I'm not sure of the actual color. The red I use is Chevy Victory Red, from the current C6 Corvette. Amazing in the sunshine.

Here's a link showing the my red (not sure if you can see any difference) and the set of black polished ones I did some time back. The black polished (sand cast marks removed) ones are up for sale - I'll post them tonight.

Gads,

Great job, can't wait to see them! Now I only need the owner of Race Concepts to reappear so I can order a brake kit!

Thanks again,
