    Wouldn't it be funny if you went to peel it off and it won't come off? You glance over at the cabinet and noticed you actually grabbed the black krylon fusion paint next to the plastidip can...oh sh*t moment..

    That's funny cause I did have other black paints with it and almost used the wrong stuff on my drums. I peeled off the plasti dip, came off so nice and easy.. I love this stuff

    The problem is that Yota does not offer a very extravagant color pallet....And personally I only think bright red calipers work with super fast cars that have very open-air wheels..and extravagant paint. It just does not fit the 4X4 or truck-type look. These other sports cars have super open wheels that the caliper compliments...also the history of the red caliper is a theme of racing...it is always "glowing" red because of the stress during high speed.

    It really only applies to Rally Cars, Porsche, Ferrari, VW, Audi, Subaru,...etc.. looks great on those. On a Tacoma...it is just...well...Still a workhorse...and not a Ferrari.

    A Taco is a practical vehicle that looks great when hopped-up practically.. but not so much when hopped-up impractically. The red caliper...is yes.... full of break dust. impractical. The Truck can still look great, but the lines of a truck have a very different demeanor than the car racing world.
