New to the group from New Jersey. My 2018 GT I picked up Labor Day weekend. Already have 7,000 miles on it and love it!

Happy Holidays everyone!

My 2nd favorite Mazda color! Welcome to the forum! Did you paint your calipers? Looks good!

Calipers are hard for me. A simple spray job is pretty obvious; if the money is spent and a thick enamel is used, it does look good.

Not bad, digital ones make life easier/simpler, but you can learn to be precise with them pretty easily.

congrats on the car and the red calipers do look nice.
I've used Duplicolor before, just with a brush and paint instead of the spray. On certain cars (with certain wheels) it just makes the calipers 'pop'
