  • what color should I paint my calipers?

    I have a monterrey maroon metallic camaro with y2k vette rims. What color do you think I should paint my brake calipers?

    if you plan on putting a second color on the car to detail all the little emblems then get the calipers painted to match that, if not, just match them to the color of the car.

      Quick question concerning painting calipers: If you still have stock rims and you paint your calipers can you actually see them or do the stock rims cover them up too much?

        Here's what you should do...I'm thinking of doing this except mine are already painted :( This is on LS1.com. This guy did these to his calipers. Sweet huh? ;)

          I think with a maroon car you should paint them yellow. It will really stand out. But that is assuming there is no other color on your car. Like no white pin-stripes or other trim colors. A bright yellow would look really good.

            I'm thinking the same color of the car.

              How about black with silver camaro decals on them?

              I think that would look nice.

              I don't think I would paint them the same as your car...
