so i just ordered some brembo rotors, now what color should i rice out my caliper with?

RED?

BRONZE?

BLACK?

SILVER?

bronze?

btw i tried looking at painting calipers in the sticky but the link doesnt work, neone have any suggestions?

 

o btw my car is gold, with gunmetal rims..

 

I painted mine black and love how they look. I used the G2 kit, easiest and best looking way to do it

 

RED.. I dont like that color that much but most true bbk systems come
with red calipers so I pick red...

 

that's a hard choice... I'd say either black or bronze. I ended up choosing bronze cause I think it would match better with the car. But black would require less cleaning.

 

do red, it'll contrast better

 

Whats the difference between BRONZE and bronze?

I vote for black.

For the maximum riceness for your painting dollar, I would recommend red.

 

Lol.........

 

i did red...looks a whole lot sportier and more noticeable while ur moving..

 

I think I would go with something that matches the color of your car, gold or bronze, or beige, etc. I think the contrast against your rims would allow the calipers to stand out and yet look clean at the same time.
if you've got a pic of your car from the side, try photoshopping different colors on there.

 

hhm can someone photoshop it for me??

 

i agree with cefiro up above. red does look the sportiest. not too ricey, really. and i think that doing body color wouldn't stand out or contrast enough/at all.

 

i agree with the red too, but im curious to know how would they look bronze?

 

I like green but on your car I think Red would Look best..I didnt go with Red cause it was tooo flashy

 

the link didnt work on how to paint it, did you guys take it completely off?

 

It works the best that way cause it gives you a chance to clean them really well..so the paint has something to stick to...but if you want to do it fast and half A**, then paint them when they are on the car

no...i used the kit with the brush.

 

my vote is for silver. I just painted mine red, finished it today actually, but i have a blue car and i think it just makes it stand out that much more. Possibly a little ricy, but ive done a few ricy things and it works for me.

 

Red = Too flashy
Silver = Blends into the Rotor too much
Black = Blends into the plastic fender covers
Yellow = Yuck

Pick a color you like and go with it...

 

Silver wont blend in with the rotors at all, if anything they will make them more noticable. Just so you know with a gold car and black rims, red will REALLY stand out. Nothing subtle about that color combo

 

wouldnt silver ones look nasty with brake dust??i mean...it'll look like rust??

 

go with gold calipers NICE!! especially w/ gunmetal rims theyll look sick

 

go bronze or gold. i think they would match ur car perfect.

 

Quick mockup on my car. I think it would look even better on yours with your gunmetal rims.

 

Any color will be noticable while your driving, except black.

Bronze. matches you car, you'll have the brembo look

 

I saw someone say they painted theirs. I assume you were able to leave your rotors on? I was thinking you had to take them off! But, covering the surrounding metals and just painting them seems MUCH easier!

I checked the How-to's, but the link was busted. How is this done?

 

I just repainted mine red, and they look awesome. Red is the way to go man.

 

pink..

j/k haha

I painted mine red.. but i have a black car..



Thats the best picture i have. Good luck! Make sure to get hi temp paint.

 

red looks nice

 

I have a black car and im painting mine soon as well...im goin with Bronze.

 

damm so many opinions...

so mdeezy, bronze is the brembo look? i didnt know that

and its either RED or Bronze.... hhm fawk it i riced my car out this far i guess i should go with red?? alright lets make this easier fotchop

 

the brembo brakes on the Z/G are a Bronze color, Brembo now that I think about it more is more seen in red, on higher end car, but I was thinking about the Z/G when I made my post.

I still think it will look hot on the car, keep you beige color scheme going.

 

BRONZE!!

 

thats gold u doof!

 

thats Bronze!, gold is a brighter color. Either way that color looks good, or if you can get the exact paint that matches your car.


gold? sheesh . . .

 

i wasn't into the whole red thing but I did it yesterday and I really like the look of it



edit: rims are nasty and the shim is dirty so thanks . .

 

If you had to choose... Is the brush paint better than the spray paint??? I saw a caliper paint kit at strauss discount auto with the brush and can of paint... I figure the spray would be messy and prone to overspray, drip and miss painting some angles???

 

Gold. 350Z/G35 style. When I swap out calipers, I will do them gold.

 

hhm personally i would never paint my calipers the same color of my car because my car is pebble beige. and its a tacky and ugly *** color to have *** calipers imo. lol i think if u had a red car or black or blue or green then its ok to paint it the same color.

soo i guess ill try it red?? but im afraid its too ricey

ok so im left with red and dark bronze

 

Go with the RED: with the color of your wheels and car color it will look just the RIGHT way, bronze will get lost a little and red brings a little accent to the look so thats what you need Just my 2 cents
