Please do not rank my car down if you do not like it- that is not what this post is for- it is for showing you all my car so you can see what color i should paint them thanks

blue? to match everything else you did with your car
i think a bright red orange color would be hot, but i never seen paint for that

 

blk .

 

i'd say blue, because it would throw off all the blue you did in the engine bay. it would be like seeing a car that had green doors, blue hood, red wheels...just doesn't look right....keep the flow and do blue calipers. when it comes to colors with cars, i say stick with the colors you start with.

what do you think looks good? it's your car not ours, you gotta live with it in the end

 

i agree with the post above me, but personally i don't like bright colored calipers on any non-neutral paint colors (as in, they look okay on black, white, gray... but not on green), so i would say black. you could look into getting some "nissan" decals for the calipers, or hand-paint it, those little details look sick.

 

black neting else is tacky with green

 

I say black cuz the brake dust will color it black ne ways

 

actually wal-mart sells duplicolor engine enamel 400* chevrolet orange red paint... but i got the high heat 1200* in just plain red in hopes to match better...

 

yea i was kinda thinkin black and yes i was also thikin bout doin the nissan painted on it in white thanks and keep votong -i should be getting the paint 2m so its kinda really either silver with black lettering or black with silver or white lettering

 

When I painted mine I went with silver to match the wheels. Actually, it was an Aluminum colored paint, but it matched really well...

Its up to you though...silver "cleaned" up the look of mine.

 

okay so which should i do spray or paint em on -which lasts longer/better

 

you could always get the g2 system... but face it... brake dust is going to cover whatever you put on there... honestly, im glad i didnt sell out for it too... for $5 my 1200* paint will virtually never wear off... yes it will fade from the sun eventually im sure, and brake dust will cover it... but the other day, i just sprayed water on it and they look like i just painted them... clean them with some soap and they will look factory! (slight exageration ) im about to change my brake pads in a few days so when my calipers are off, i will clean them and re-coat them with my duplicolor... it was a pain masking them off but it was worth it... i still kind of wish i took them off to do it, so im gonna do it right this time...

 

depends on your car color but red looks the best

 

i think it is the complete opposite of stupid... on mine anyways

 

I think red looks cool, but against the green...I am not so sure.
Merry Christmas!

 

black will make them look nice but not stand out, if you want them to stand out at least get some nice rotors or somthing.

NOTHING you can do will make it look as bad as those idiots that paint their rear drums

 

black with a white stenciling of NISSAN if it will fit.

Red = played out imo.

 

What about white? I was thinking about doing mine white, with Nissan in Black lettering. I was going to paint my rsb white also and some engine components.

 

Keep it similar to the color theme you've already started...no point in making a sexy caqr look like a clown car with many colors. Blue or black are the choices you should consider....unless you change the color theme of your engine bay....do it, do it!

 

I just painted mine black this weekend, nice and low key. I like it, it sure looks better than the rust color that was on there before.

 

get them chromed... or polished...

 

what linkage you dont like the blue under the hood-i love it and its a lot more interesting then stock crap-but w/e to each his own right

 

actually painting thurs now so please keep posting ideas

 

is there any gunmental paint available? its more visible than black but still low key, not too flashy

 

i say black with white lettering, or black with a nismo decal

 

Hey wuz up 97maxxx, your car is green !!!!!!!! please do not choose BLUE !!!!!, any dark color to match not your accents and mods but the car most importanly. dark car dark color calipers.

 

i see a couple of posts saying add decals, will they hold up with that much heat. i know when i leave stickes in the sun they start to "un glue". how will they hold up to brake calipers heat, and splashing through water.

 

Yea thats true. I got a "E-Z" pass on my windshield and it comes off by the heat nevermind caliper heat.

 

 

what decals and where are these decals? how can i get them? any links? thanks.....and i have the same kinda max 97max, same bulge mesh grille, may be colored black soon, i have chrome rims, id like to paint my calipers black and get some grey or silver kinda decals so the rims will be chrome, calipers black, and decal chrome...

 

I painted mine with engine enamel in red and clearcoat...it looks good on green too (maximabebes car)

 

i've never seen nissan caliper decals, but i bet you can get them somewhere. check ebay maybe? worst case, you could just stencil it on: find the "nissan" (or "maxima," or whatever) lettering online and print out a copy in the proper size (approx. 3" x 1"). then use a razorblade or xacto knife to cut out the letters. fit the stencil onto the caliper, mask around it, and paint.

 

they have them at the parts counter at the dealership near me, if u want them pay pal me the money and ill sendem to ya
