Unless you have BBK, painting calipers is rice. If you want to take rice to another level you can always put on the fake stick on calipers:

If you want your car to look like the Pep Boys special, go for it.

Those fake ones are awesome, and horrible at the same time.

I painted mine red with g2 paint, and contrary to what seems like a general consensus, to me, it doesn't look "rice". But to each his own. Btw, I agree with the previous post, black would look nice on your car.

paint them yellow or red. Those are the only good colors for calipers.

**PRINCESS PEACH** · 10-21-2009, 11:54 AM

the reason why i say black is because i've seen yellow and red on calipers. no matter what color you paint em... its still stock brakes... the paint will fade no matter how good of a job you do, and your brakes will be riced out.

I say black to cover up the hideousness we have poking out of our wheel spokes.

I agree with P. Peach; however, if you paint them black they will not be noticeable since they blend in with the background. As might as well leave them alone. I don't think home painted calipers look RICE. I painted mine on my 91 300zx and they looked great for many years. Go for it man.

go with black

with those blinged-out wheels, i don't think anyone is going to pay much attention to your brakes....

and i see too many cars on stock wheels and stock everything else and red calipers to even consider painting mine..

silver or black is the only way to go...or spend the cash for the real bbk, and don't try to fake the funk..
