Painted Blue calipers

I was planning on painting the stock calipers blue, so I was just wondering if anyone who had done it already can post some pictures of them.

I think blue would look weird unless you have really big shiney rims

Blue is not noticeable at all. Been there. I'd definitely do black but if you want to be different try a dark metallic gray.

But yeah sway away from blue

i guess i wont catch you in any ferraris or high end cars. its rice the way some people do it like purple calipers on a green car. but if you have a black car and do metallic or black calipers it will look tasteful

Mine is BLue. SAme color with the body of the car. It is not noticeable but better than stock color!

If you want other pics, I can take.

This is the best I can find now.



i think you should go with Red. Black&Red look very cool...

i didnt think that i had to include that caveat, obviously i dont have an issue with the ferrari brakes, or even those on the brembo upgrade 350z's something about painting tiny little calipers colors that stand out doesnt settle with me

I painted my civic's calipers blue b/c the car was blue, but black is a clean color, keep it clean. Silver, black, or if you want something that will show go with red. Also if you dont clean them often it all ends up brown anyway lol, but have fun.
