Brake Caliper Paint (need colour opinions.)

[Punks_Not_Dead5]

I did a search, but this is more for opinions...I'm getting my rear brakes done next week and i asked about painting the calipers...they said they'd do all four for cost of the paint.

I just need to decide on a colour...

Keep in mind i have a red, black, white theme going with the car.

Black or silver. I voted black.

Painting stock brakes a bright color (red, yellow, etc) is ghey.

+1 on black.
Red or yellow only go with sport cars (Supra, 350z, Corvette, Porche, etc...) that has big brake like Brembo then it worth it to show off with red or yellow.
It will look funny to show off your stock brakes in red or yellow because they're so so small.

By the way Justin, it's spelled color. That is unless you're a ghey Canadian.

red is the only color for calipers.

if you paint them black, silver, etc. they will blend in w/the background and will not be noticeable, why paint them.

with red they will be visible all the time.

ha ha ha..kiss my ass!

I was thinking black or red. But now that you mentioned it, probably black. anything is better than rust colour!

I'll give this poll today and tomorrow for other opinions..and i'll book the appt. tomorrow afternoon.

I don't think Justin wants to show off his tiny stock brakes!!!
BLACK FTW.

I either want them to be seen...or invisible. And like TRD and Lammy said..they aren't brakes you want to "show off".

And the point of painting them is to protect them from everyday road dust, dirt, crap!

Voted Black, easiest to keep black, silver would show brake dust more

[importcars]

hmm,, black..

[liquidi3ladz]

Pink.

..jk black. =]

I voted silver, IMO red only goes well on a few cars. I painted mine red, but I can get away with it because I have a red car. I think red brakes (stock) with a white car don't look very good.
