  • White Car...which color for brake calipers?

      Ya I would say go with red aswell. Maybe... white but would get dirty too fast.

              I am currently debating this myself.

              I have decided to go with black on calipers and drums, and get the chrome FIREBIRD decals for the calipers.

              I will do this in the spring. What do you guys think?

              Personally, red is nice, but I wouldn't want red since it would clash with my white/black color theme.

                I'm with you and the black look. Next time I change my brakes i will probably paint mine black or polish them. One or the other.

                  say what?...look at my sig looks damn good....and personally even though it would get dirty I'd go with white....unless you have any other red accents on your car....

                    I myself have been thinking about this. Once I get my new chromes, I'd want black painted ones with white Camaro decals. Just a thought though.

                      My color scheme is black on white.
                      Stock silver calipers right now, but I'm going BLACK soon!

                          I woudnt get black for the calipers, put it on the brake pads! Do something unusual for the calipers and brackets.

                          Autozone and Oreilly's have a large selection of engine enamel paints that will work well. I suggest you go shopping, and pick something that will stand out. Orange, or lime green!
