Going to paint the calipers soon, and I can't decide what color to do. Post your pics and help me decide!!

My car is CGP, if that helps

BDoggPrelude has pics of his black ones on here somewhere. Zelaya has pics of his red aftermarket Rotora BBK. Christopher1 has a pic of his yellow calipers, and 235RL has a few of his teal ones.


I don't suggest the yellow.

never painted anything... fml. Is it a straight forward process in getting a solid and quality finish? any sanding/masking involved?

You will want to get a caliper cleaning set (or a roll of shop towels and can of brake cleaner) to prep, but there should be no sanding involved. The only thing to mask that takes time is the "ACURA" letters. It is tedious, but worth the time as any paint that gets in those tiny grooves will be hard to remove. Most people pick up a caliper painting kit as well.

Great mod.

Guess I'll follow through with some goods.

Of course they sell kits. Or (for dummies) pkgs lol i never think to look for something like that. Lol always take most concepts as a tedious confusing process. Thks.

I have Zelayas old set up and I'm debating on powdercoating them before the install. It's such a tough decision for me.

I'm personally not a fan of red. If it's a Porshe, you get a pass, but otherwise, . Ferraris might get a pass too, but I'd rather see yellow there. For the RL, I think subtle is the key. Silver, black, gunmetal, or a dull blue would set it off nicely.

Congrats on picking up his BBK. I've got my .

With kit from tirerack...

Did you paint the letters? Whether you did or not, I guess that is an option.

I did paint the letters all black just to simplify the job then took a little bit of 600 grit sandpaper and hand sanded the letters after the paint cured. Tried to tape the letters but it was taking to much time.

She needs a detail and new front bumper paint. The chrome accents are also starting to get a bit worn.
