hey, what color should I paint my calipers and rear drums? I've got a black 93 GXE with tint and clears, but I'm not sure what would look good.

usually people do it to match somethbing else, but like mine it's all black and there's nothign to match it to! Maybe yellow.

well bepends on the shade of white. yellow looks nice to. but i would do it white if it was my car. or if you don't want to go all out then paint mit a really glossy black, so it stands out. my friend did that to his car it looks nice.

nice car..looks like mine! ;p sans the headlight cover and mesh grille!

yellow? hmm I was thinking maybe red? but red looks good on white, dunno about black..

Dark Red would look sweet all around.

i think it looks stupid when people paint drums a stand out contrasting color. on callipers its not as bad. i am going to paint my rear drums black, that is until they get converted to disk this spring. the front calipers i am painting silver. red looks good on calipers as well.

it can't be to dull if your puting it on the calipers or brums because you wont notice it. thats why i said white. if you go with dark red put i really shiny clear coat on so you notice them. because whats the use doing it if noone see's it. thats like put ing a black light in your car and you have a black interior, waste of money

yeah, I agree, but it'd look kidna lame half/half too I think. i gotta get some info on the brake swap..i wanna do it!

I have the same color Max. I was thinking silver/aluminum color with clearcoat for a nice gloss.
