For those who have painted their calipers

[Stix]

What color is your car and what color did you paint the calipers?

I have a red GAGT and can't decide on what color to do the calipers. I am kind of going with the red/black look since I have blackouts/tint/black inlays for the bumpered lettering. Black calipers would be pointless though.

I have black calipers on my blue GA. I'd take a pic but its raining know. let me know if you want a pic and i'll try and snap one for ya tomorrow. They look noticably different that just unpainted calipers. I like it IMHO.

I have a white car with orange calipers!! looks great, would be interesting on red, I would say to paint them red or if ur desperate not for red, than yellow or blue

I wouldn't mind doing red but I'm skeptical about how well it would match. I think I'll spray a sample of red and see how well it matches.

i painted mine w/ Dupli-Color Ford Red (de1605) on my red grand am and it looks great. a smidge lighter, but not noticable at all. here's a pic.. if you need one w/ the car in it too, i can go snap a shot, let me know.

It'd be nice to see the whole car so I can see what mine would look like, but only if you have time. Where did you buy that spray paint? Thanks Papio..

I did mine red and silver. Here is one pic of the rear caliper.

Here is another of the front caliper with no wheel.

i will get a full shot w/ the car in it too first thing in the morning (i wouldn't get very good quality and accuracy at night) check in the morning, i'll have it.

Blue on black... calipers only, not the brackets.

nah,...u just gotta have patience

I have a Galaxy Silver car, and I painted mine Universal Red. Looks cool. I only painted the bright part of the calipers on the front. I taped off the darker metal that surrounds the main part of the caliper. So my rear and front look to be the same size that way. :)

[papiogagt]

here's that pic you wanted...

I painted mine with Daytona Yellow High Temp paint looks pretty good on a black gt. Compliments the interior nicely =)

Thanks papio, think I will do the red when I have time.

[papiogagt]
