  • Caliper paint choices

    Should I paint them red or black? I can't decide and I can't think of anything that would sway me one way or the other.

    I also don't believe another color would suit the application but if something off the wall like aqua would somehow look alright, I'm open to suggestions.

    since your car is red i think red, black, silver, maybe white would look ok-totally up too you, but personally ive always liked black cuz its the most subtle.

      yeah I agree. Black will give you a nice clean look.

        I say red with black camaro lettering. I'm normally a big fan of black because its subtle, but you can't go wrong with either color on a red car.

                i love polished too, but how long will they stay like that?

                i too have a red camaro, and plan on doing something with my calipers this spring, but i too am unsure. so far, im just going to paint them red.

                  i agree.... black all the way, it just looks nice on all colors
                  if you go with a color like red, it would get dirty and not look so good after awhile, black all the way IMO

                    do it up like mine, red with black letters.

                    mike please do it right. sand them down till they are smooth as your head inthe summer time, then use primer, paint then clear coat. the time will be worth it when it's done.

                            Well Kristen you do know I keep my head quite smooth in the summer time. I might just see if I can get your "expert opinion" with any special tricks of the trade that I'd be missing. I am leaning more towards black though.
