^^^ Orange looks good, but the green was more unique.

Did they have to strip the lime green paint before painting it orange?

Thanks, no they were brand new calipers. I swapped mine with ACG's stock ones.

For those that think my green ones looked better because they stood out, I will agree in part. Yes they stood out and yes they are more unique, but in person, the pearl orange of my new calipers stands out in a different way. It's like if you took a person wearing a nice looking suit with a loud unique tie and then looked at another suit that was an immaculate pinstripe with a tie that perfectly sets it off. Yes, a loud tie will be more eye catching, but (now turning my analogy to the current situation) after having both colors of calipers, I prefer the one that stands out for looking oh so fresh and oh so clean instead of the one that is louder.
