There are many different colors by different manufactures. Dupicolor is what is one of the better ones. Apparently they have spray or hand paint. Spray is easier to apply, but you will need to remove caliper. I was too nervous to remove them. Truthfully I just don't know how.

Don't think I've seen any that bright before. Might be too bright for my taste, but looks pretty good.

I have never heard of anyone say Orions are too bright when they see it in person
