If the red is just a "little" too bright you could dull it with duplicolor "black chrome" [i just use it, I don't get $ for recommending it over & over]

I thought the same "too bright" for many of my MB Z's parts; rims, headlights, door handles, emblems and backup lights lens; "Spray ALL the things!", 30% film on all the light lens

All the shiny removed...



I don't mind the hint of red of the calipers but you could dull it with the black chrome which is a black tinted clear spray paint so that as you add layers it gets closer to black.

So far the duplicolor is really holding up well, even on the rims.
Brake dust will dull the red also, just stop washing the calipers (and drive more!)

Good luck,

Looks good! How do the tints hold up on the LED lens?
