What color to paint my calipers

[CleanNeon98]

So since I am gona be doin the endlinks and have the wheels off either way, I thought id go ahead and paint my calipers as well. I dont want a bright color, but I want them to look nice and clean. Wheels are silver with a polished lip and chrome centercap, car is champagne, tan, beige, w.e u wana call it. So what color? BTW I will also have tint on saturday

[noclutch]

pink... seriously.

[BlackLS]

Got any pics of the car cause that would make deciding a lot easier.

[whitezenki]

dont paint them, just clean them at most, and even that isnt really necessary

Black with a couple coats of high temp clearcoat. make sure you prep them good before painting!

[Vypurr]

Yes...LOTS of prep work and lots of hi-temp clear.

yep...me and my buddy are gona get our rotors turned at my mechanics shop, then when we do our brake jobs, well paint my calipers and drums (drums FTL!)

[ozthunder]

Cherry blossom red or whatever JDMheads believe that pink is..it'd be fly, yo!

[CleanNeon98]

my friend said yellow as in the carrera gt and such lol i told him hes a ricer. I think black will be best though. Just a simple and clean look

[Vypurr]

Black will look respectable when cleaned up and not like a ricer with yellow paint screaming look at mee!

[Evo8kid]

Paint them with Testors Model airplane paint. The stuff in the little glass jars. Just make sure it's enamel.

I'm dead serious. I did it on my FD. I held up awesome even through some serious track days.

Do you mean the rust on the rotor? If so, thats just part of rotors...They rust! lol

any way to get that **** off?

[Vypurr]

Sure, you could use a wire brush to clean it up, but it will come right back after driving though.

[TROLL]

yeah unpainted or black... anything else is just not cool.

[jspek]

pink ftw

[Sberk06]

gloss black, or a dark gunmetal silver would look real nice..

[twistedlanes]

Bronze or burgundy, neither are too flashy but black is cool too.

[CleanNeon98]

I think black will give them the appearance of being new nad clean and such, but i wont be an attention whore coming down the street

[IntegrasAreBest]

black ftw

either color will work fantastic, and I mean it will look bad as hell afterwards, big time..

[TurboTagTeam]

It'll run 10's at 130mph+

You should put the drums on the front, it's less unsprung weight. All EP3 honda guys do it.

[peteyturbo]

why not just run bright yellow mechanical drums on all 4. the wheels are already convex?:o It'll run 10's at 130mph+

caliper paint is what you need due to heat. make sure you clear them too

[mr_eh]

im gonna go with... dont paint them... they are mad small, will just look stupid... contrary to popular belief, red brakes dont improve braking

When you have to poll the internet to decide wich color to rice out your calipers, d-bag comments should be expected.

[tjf]

red or pink
