Damn :/
But will my bright red brake calipers add power?

No, but a 3Kw stereo pumping out "Bangin Choons" will slow the car down quite effectively instead innit?

Sadly, it's genuine! The bloke posted in open forum that he'd painted his calipers, pads and
rotors, as American people call discs, with that red paint.
The reason they all find it so funny is that he's fitting steel wheels and full size trims, so nobody would ever see the results of his handiwork.
Many replies said stuff such as
Dude, don't drive behind me...

The sort of thing you might try out on private land whilst you're waiting for your new discs and pads to be delivered, but otherwise Doh!
The smell thats going to generate would be rank. I've hit an exhaust with overspray when patching underbody protection before now. The whole car reeked for a week before it finally burnt off

I once filled the rear silencer on one of my Volvo 140s with Shell Ensis V (rustproofing fluid, like Waxoyl but it
works) just because my then-neighbours were pains in the arse and I knew that the fumes would annoy them intensely and for many, many weeks on a regular basis.

A coating of grease in the exhaust manifold would do much the same, or you could follow idiot boys example and use a can of bright red paint...

A good mate of mine fitted a small tube to the exhaust manifold. With a washer bottle full of brake fluid connected to it, it provided a very effective anti-tailgater device.
