Anyone have any pics of a White 4th Gen with Calipers painted?!?

I'm trying to decide whether to go with red or blue, and just can't seem to choose.

Blue is more subtle, but red is more snazzy.

Anyway, if anyone has pics, please post them.

Thanks!

Go Red.

Red....

 

Pics Pics Pics!!!

Please!?

 

So far the reds have it

Red will look nicer than blue. Trust us. You may want to go crazy and imitate the skyline GTR-34 with gold, but that may be tacky to some. I think it looks hot on darker cars.. even white would match gold okay

 

I'd have to say red....it would flow with your taillights. Red accents on a white car would look tight.

 

It would look like it belonged also if they had the gold trim package. Sorta.

you know what im going to say,
red all the way

 

lol why i am i not surprised redmax said Red and yes red would look the best but i know no one has shown you pics yet.

 

ill be different and say paint them blue and then get the mirror part on your side mirrors tinted blue too

 

Are red and blue the only options? Anyone ever try some other colors? I'm not feeling either on my "Pebble Beige" max.

 

 

 

See. Told ya red looks good.

man thats what i want mine to look like... oh well, perf then looks.

 

I painted mine like a lime green color. I have a 97 white maxima

 

The reason I want only red or blue is because Warpspeed Y-pipes only come in Red, Blue, or yellow. And I don't like yellow.

Thanks for the pics!
That's all I wanted!

There already is someone in the NW with the Blue/White motife (airmattdog), so I think I'm gonna do red. Besides, my needles are silver with red tips anyway, after I painted them, and so is my stereo power wire.

So red it is!

Thanks for the help, guys!

Thanks Justin..


Ian.. i couldn't answer your email.. my pager is acting up..

but i got my kit from Nathan on this forum.. its the foltec caliper paint kit.. comes with brake cleaner, paint and thinner.. its a great kit.. AndyXXL has it too.. last long too.. and thanks for the compliment on the car

 

yep red is the best for everything

 

I can't tell for sure, but is your hamburger on your front grille painted red????

If so, how? What process did you use? What kind of paint?

 

Has anybody done it with gold? I have the pebble beige would it go good? What kind of paint do you use?

 

I've said it in another thread and I guess I'll say it again.

Mine are painted blue to match my Tokico Blues!

Blue

my car is gonna be ****ed at me.

 

warpspeed paints their ypipes in colors?

 

I did a double take as well....maybe he's referring to their intakes...

 

Go for Red. Please go for red.
I've got to keep my NW originality some how!



I'm going to look into the FoliaTec Caliper paint as well. I need to redo them anyways. Brake Cleaner will eat at the paint like there's no tomorrow!!!

 

Hmmm. . .you just brought up a good point. I was just getting ready to do my calipers, but haven't decided on paint yet.

Has anyone gone the econo-caliper paint (engine enamel from the local auto-parts place) route either by itself or with a high-temp clear coat & then later cleaned the calipers with brake cleaner?

-or is car-soap enough to clean the dust off?

Will brake cleaner strip off the engine enamel paint and/or high-heat clear coat? (I haven't seen any of the engine enamels/clear coats make similar claims [as the Foliatec] against chemical resistance) but you would think it would have to at least be resistent to oil, right? (I know - brake fluid is WAY more corrosive).

HEEEEEELP! Your experience counts most, but I'll settle for opinions!

 

looks like a gtr emblem

 

Did anyone mention silver, or am I the only one obsessed with that color?

 

yes

 

i like silver! hehe...u selling that kit?

 

when i used the brake caliper cleaner.. my calipers looked silver.. so why would i then go and paint them silver? i would have just used the caliper cleaner and a wire brush.. and just save myself the time and money to paint them

 

My calipers were rusted and looked dark brown.

 

the foltec brake cleaner didn't clean that up?

man my calipers were drity and rusted too.. but after the wire brush and the cleaner they looked sharp.. my cousin was like.. yo.. leave it like that.. and i was like no.. i didn't waste my money on this whole kit to leave it like that..

 

I knew I should've used a wire brush instead of sand paper. It took all the rust off but the calipers were still brown.

 

spray... wire brush.. spray .. wire brush.. *bling bling*

 

Go with blue.

 

Heh....I just got fogs, too.

And I'm removing my pinstripe. Besides your rims and my chrome, we have the same car!

So where's you get those rims? Anyone know how to get rid of the chrome? <j/k>

And to everyone else, I meant CAI of course...was tired when I wrote that.

How would red calipers look on a sage mist green Max? Ugly?
