I am planning on painting my Calipers this weekend and want some opinions on what color to do and what paint to use, I have a glacier pearl 02. I did try to search but am getting the message below.

either silver or black is the only colors I would use for any maxima color.

 

I like red on all color Maximas. Some people like Gold or Silver. Some even like Black. My thoughts are that If I paint them it is to get noticed. Red will get noticed.

 

 

Black.

 

I don't know I always thought you paint them so you don't get noticed for all the rust on the stockers. Unless you got a Big Brake package why would you want them noticed?

I'm with blu, black or silver.

 

I agree, anything brighter is rice or just terribly misplaced. Fine on an F-40, 911, or soemthing truly high performance, WITH a high performance caliper to show off. Not some cheapie stocker.

 

It all depends on the look you want. Look at PMAS76's Max or my Max and you will see what red looks like on a dark color Max. I don't think it looks 'ricey' at all.

Since you said you are doing it this weekend, sounds like you are going to buy the paint. I hope you are getting a good enamel paint like Foliatec or G2... otherwise, spray paint will fade quicker and look bad.

red's gonna get u a rice ticket from the rice police

 

All a matter of opinion, NT2SHBBY. All a matter of opinion.

Some may say that your grille is rice.

Painted calipers - not rice. Otherwise Ferraris, Porsches, Vipers... hmmm... not rice there.

if anything bro, my grill wouldn't be uncle ben's it'd be uncle sam cuz it reminds people of american trucks

but red calipers on a 4 door luxury sports car is a no go...sorry

 

a no go in your book.

reminds people of american trucks?

dude, can I have some of what you are smoking?

 

See me post above...

 

Thanks, I think the Foliatec Red looks good, it is a nice dark red, where do you buy that paint? By the way, I am also putting on the Stillen RSB this weekend as well!

 

can't ship the sticky icky to ya...come to NYC and I'll bus u down...

 

OUMAX... before you put the Stillen RSB on, paint it a platinum/silver color and clearcoat it! Look at my homepage... my Stillen RSB is quite noticeable underneath because I painted it!

The Foliatec has to be ordered from one of the online dealers... like custom maxima, etc.

 

You have a white max, have you considered white ? Someone on here has white ones on a white max and it looks pretty sweet. I'm gonna do mine white this summer after I move.

 

I have a glacier pearl (white) maxima, too.

I'm going to paint them CHROME, SILVER, or GOLD. I can't decide, so I may end up trying them all out until I know which I like best.

 

I wanted to paint my calipers red, but im not sure how that would look on my majestic blue...i may do silver or black. Any suggestions?

 

silver or black either or looks nice...

 

The only red calipers i have ever liked had the word Brembo on them!

 

i just like mine red....

 

Or Porshe!

 

Paint them whatever color YOU like. If we all listened to everybody here, all of our cars would look exactly the same.

My Max is Sherwood Green, and I went with red on the calipers. I think it looks great, and I've had more than a few compliments from other Maxima enthusiasts. Many of them thought it would look ricey too... until they saw them.

Also... don't get fooled into thinking that you need to spend $50 on Folia-tec, or some other "specialty" paint. You can use any high-temperature or "caliper" spray paint on them. As long as you do a few coats, it will not fade, and the color will be plenty deep and have a nice shine to it.

Bottom line is this: do what YOU like, and have fun with YOUR car.

 

Green car, red calipers...hmmm...

must be a hit around Christmas!!!!

 

Not quite as big a hit as your girlfriend is after a couple glasses of wine!

<--- this means I'm NOT being a *****, right?

 

 

That is the way I use that smilie.

 

why would you want your Japanese sports sedan to look like a American truck?! Sorry dude, that grill is RICE so pull over, you're getting a ticket!
