Painted Calipers

Mikey_H · Mar 17, 2007

Hi All,

After much debate i have painted my Calipers I thought that my car... being yellow would look spot on with yellow brake calipers but i was convinced by friends and brothers to paint them red, i hope in the next few months i will change them to bigger and better brakes anyway.

What does everyone think??

never really liked red calipers unless they were genuine brembo/movit's or something equally wow, much prefer black or grey. but saying that they dont look too bad against the yellow

I like them.
I did mine the same colour.
My last car a Honda Civic Jordan in yellow I painted the calipers yellow and although they looked good they didn't stay that way for long.
They get very dirty.

Always been fan of the red calipers. Going to paint mine when I get my new brakes that are on order. Sorry to hijack the thread a bit but Im thinking of painting my good lady's as well, Its a french racing blue clio 182 and was thinking of painting them blue (like the R32's brakes), opinions please.

done my fr ones black, didn't want them to look like BREMBO/AP wanabe's

i think they look good clash nicely with the yellow

ive done mine red too! although they need a good clean now they've been done for 6 months lol

Red on the yellow car look pretty good IMO

Yellow would have just been a tad 'overkill' methinks

maybe green like the vRS or perhaps the R32 blue like someone has already mentioned. I've done from front ones yellow (not had time to do the rears yet) looks very good against the grey of my car!!!

what do u think would look best on a red ibiza?

Mikey_H · Apr 8, 2007

Personally i think red would still look good on a red car but thats just my opinion. my mate has a red hyundai coupe and he has painted his calipers gold i didnt think they looked that good.

i agree the gold just isnt bold enough to stand out, looks better than just leaving them. I also also painted my calipers, Mike shall be having my 312mm disks and calipers as soon as i upgrad to a ECS stage 4 Porsche Big Brake kit.
this is mine now

and soon to be.
