I am currently debating should I or shouldn't I paint my brake calipers. I am waiting on red center caps and am wondering will that be too much. Opinions?

 

Hi. I've had a few of mine painted. It looked good on those cars though it never looks as good close up as powder coating does so I was never 100% happy with the result. As in, each time I wished I had spent the time and trouble to powdercoat instead.

I dont know whether red would really enhance the car with that colour combination and wheels. It looks good with them silver anyway. Maybe black would look good?

 

I've used G2 Caliper Paint on several cars and it held up and looked good. Go for it!

 

This is what I was thinking as well. Just wasn't sure. It already looks good silver but it doesn't "pop" though. The paint I have is also a bright red and as you can see my top isn't. Never thought of black though. Now I have a whole other decision to make!!!

 

Lol. You make the decision sound so easy! Lol

 

I think the red calipers would clash with the top. IMO, black would be better.

 

I am personally not a fan of red calipers and agree with DJS that they might clash with your darker red top.

The silver seem to compliment your setup nicely, as would black.

 

If you do black, you could still have lettering in red or white. If it's red calipers you could do white or black lettering.

 

Your car is a beauty. I wouldn't change a thing. Silver looks great, black would work (but 2nd to silver), red is definitely a no-no. IMHO

 

Red calipers look good with the red top.

 

Can't help it, obsessed with red calipers. I'm starting to like yellow as I have a Porsche Turbo S neighbor with them.

After much debate, I think I'm going to go with Ronnie and MI-FType on this one. Initially I was really wanting to do the red calipers but I think I over it now. Thanks for everyone's input.

 

I seriously believe Red is the best advice. Too far away from the top to clash. Try using some red electrical tape on the calipers to test the look.
Good Luck
and Cheers
