i painted mine for probably about $5-6 bucks total...$1.50 for brushes, $2.99 for spray paint and like a dollar for painters tape. it didn't come out that bad.

and when your wheels are spinning, painted calipers make nice eye candy when your rims fail.

Ninja, if you ever saw rolling shot of a cars rims, or even saw a car with nice wheels, you see the calipers. if you saw a shot of this, you'd understand why people paint them. I'm too lazy to find a good shot right now, but they look sick.

Alright, I have to admit..... those gold calipers with black RSGTs are crazy hot..
Without the ACURA decal on greencl's car; it's really not noticeable enough to make me want to do it. Looks a little better than the gray oem color but still not enough to make me want to do it. They look like crappy cell phone pics so I still can't really say anything.
Red does look extremely sexy but every time I see red calips on a car, there ALWAYS Brembo. (that Ive seen in person)

So, not going to lie. Painted calips are hot...




except for the OP's.

Thats kinda the point for them to not really be noticeable but clean.

yeah, they shouldnt stand out unless they're aftermarket. then make them stand out as much as you want. the bigger the better as well. and yeah, that rolling shot was perfect. exactly what i meant, thanks.
