Painting Calipers....

Scimitar335i · 03-25-2009, 08:58 AM

What color should I paint my calipers? I have a TiAg e90. I was thinking either black or red. Or I can score those sweet ass Brembo caliper cover.. i kid of course

MemphisRheins · 03-25-2009, 09:20 AM

I had done red on my previous car, eventually it faded, looked bad, and now that I think about it even when it was mint, its kinda rice, since we dont have brembos... I haven't done them on the 330, but If I do I'd go black... its more subtle, but when you get upclose it still looks good.

CV335 · 03-25-2009, 09:25 AM

What color are your wheels? Go with G2 Caliper Paint...lost of different color options. Its by far the preferred choice here on the forum. I did black because I blacked out most of the other exterior trim pieces....plus it looks better black than the "brake-dust-stained" color. IMO the stock calipers don't good good with flashy colors.

Craig@SupremePower · 03-25-2009, 09:45 AM

i would do black just to clean them up it looks much cleaner...

KkSc · 03-25-2009, 12:36 PM

ibd12nv · 03-26-2009, 01:52 AM

+10000000 on the black!

CV335 · 03-26-2009, 03:22 PM

OP you didn't even needed a poll...100% consensus that you should go with black. I'll try to get some picks for you in case you are still undecided.

Scimitar335i · 03-29-2009, 06:12 AM

I went to Kragens near my pad and those ass clowns only had red or silver. They said they had to order some more black. As soon as they get some I will be all over it
