  • Caliper Color?

    OK guys, help me out. I'm tired of the hideous caliper look. What color would you paint 'em, if you were me?

    With a white car, the question really is what color do you really like? There isn't really many colors that don't look good on a white car. I dunno i'm kinda partial to orange on a white car, I love the 30th camaro's white with orange stripes [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] . Polishing them would look good, painting them a high gloss black would look good with like white camaro decals on them would look very good. Just figure out what you like.

            if you do white, be prepared to be cleaning your calipers quite a bit, and dont forget to use some high temp paint (several coats) and spray that over with some high temp clearcoat. i did mine in black with clear over it.

              Same thing I did. Except i put caliper decals on mine before the clear.

                  I have a white Firebird, and plan to paint my calipers red.

                  I also have matching BMR Boxed SFCs that are red :cool:

                      I'd polish them. Match your wheels. Might look better with the white :/

                        i'm coverting my from red to another color. i found this Chameleon paint at Walmart right. i wounder how cool that would look. i saw a friend of mines Z34( he bought the car from me :D ) and he put 5 spoke rims on it witht his calipers painted with the Chameleon. hmm. it looks REALLY nice. i might just do this actually. it COULD look cool. :D anyway what do you guys think. it's not high temp but if you do put enough coats it might look good and stick. his have so far and it's been over 6 months.

                          Keep it clean, paint them gloss black. Install some nice decals when you're done too [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
