Calipers

So, over the weekend, I painted my calipers red and put some white Acura lettering on the front calipers. They turned out better than I had anticipated. I think it adds a nice "pop" with the pearl white paint. I am debating painting the silver bordering part of the grill black as well. Has anybody seen this done, or know how to use photoshop to see what it would look like?

Hey cars, please post some picks. Someone has painted the grille and it looks good. I can't remember who, but if I find it I'll post a link.

Sorry for not posting any pics the day of guys, I couldnt find my camera because my house wa sa disaster from the weekend. But I will take some today. Littleblazer, I like that yours actually fit on your calipers. Mine were designed to curve and meant to be put on what looks like a smoother brembo style caliper. So I had to cut out and place each letter individually. Thanks for the link Mr Marco!

Thanks buddy, it almost looks as good as yours!

The calipers definitely have a nice "pop" with black rims. You should do it! I brushed on the red caliper paint without removing them to save time.

Black chrome handles and emblems would look sweet. I think it's all or nothing for those.


carsrmilife, we wanna see your red calipers on a white RDX!

Try uploading to your album and inserting an image in your post. That's what I do.
