i have a 2000 Max SE it is pearl white w/factory 17 in rims. and hyper whites all around rear and front, so they look blue when not blinking. should i go with Blue paint or White for the brake calipors??
thanx

 

I think white is better for a more "clean" look.

 

it's won't be clean for long if you go with white. Go with red, that's my favorite - you might be able to see them in my pics on my website.

 

Your whip is pimp tight.

 

my whip is pimp tight?

Thanks, I think. lol

 

Neither. White will look like hell after a month and blue is.....well, blue. I like silver, black, etc, etc- the toned down stuff.

 

Why is a car referred to as a "whip" (or is it?) Anyone know the origins of this. Just wondering, sorry to hijack the thread.

Oh, and I think black would look the best....low key, not ricey

 

yeah i was thinking bout black, will it be noticable?

 

so its betwn white and black, will white really get real dirty??

 

let me just say that my red calipers get visibly dirty. I can only imagine that white would be more noticable. Would black be visible? Of course not, it's black.

 

no i dontmean will the dirt on the black be noticable, i meant the caliper, and that it was painted

 

Yeah, you will notice it if you paint them black. They stay shiny if you keep them clean. Silver is cool too. I am going to paint mine black once I get new pads and rotors.

 

i wash my car pritty often, but white will still prob get real dirty right?? damn!!!! i donno if i should go w/white or black!!!

 

i considered painting mine...but then my 'anti-rice meter' kicked in.

NOT SAYING THAT THOSE WITH PAINTED CALIPERS ARE RICE!!!. just hear me out for a sec.

do you really want to show off our dinky little brake caplipers? if you have upgrades brakes = then great idea! or, if you have a pimped out ride like alot of guys on here = then again a great idea. but, our stock brakes are kind of sad. and with my ride looking pretty stock - with no major cosmetic styling, i gave it a second thought.

i still may do silver...i think that would look classy. also thought about red like you. but red screams "look at me! i'm cheap little stock brakes! lol...look at me!" so, i decided to bounce the red idea!

again, if i had a pimp'in ride with a body kit, aftermarket wheels, or something then i would do it for sure. just think it looks rice with a odd color like blue or red on a stock ride. you don't have a link to your ride...so perhaps this doesn't apply to you anyways.

just a thought for you to consider and my .02! and again, FOR THOSE WITH PAINTED CALIPERS - don't start a flame war on me...just trying to play 'devils advocate' here at toss in another option!

i like them...i just think they should be on a Max that deserves them!

 

either paint it black(always a good choice)....or paint it red....no blue and no white plz.

 

i do have a body kit. i dont want to do red or blue, im deciding btwn black, or white

 

then black....it will be difficult for you to paint the calipers with the stock pearl color, and it'll be even more difficult for you keep those white calipers clean. dirty looking calipers are not so-great.

 

ok thanx man

 

now that's what i'm talking about! sweet!

go with black for sure!

 

oki think i will, thanx alot guys. if anyone by any chance has blake ones can they show a pic?

 

Silver or black- reds on the ricey side

 

what in the.....oh well.....

 

Well, you have 300ZX calipers. It's not ricey to paint those red. It's ricey to paint your teeny stock calipers red. Yours looks good.

 

in this pic, those aren't stock calipers though, are they? They look great, but don't know if the tiny stock ones on my 2k would....

 

no, they are 300ZX TT calipers with 3000GT VR-4 rotors...

 

im def not ganna go red, i think uhhhhhhhhhhhh i donno eithor black or white. decisions decisions...

 

Dude you brake set up is hot....its aftermarket

but a stock red painted caliper- nothing performance about it

 

his set up looks good

 

hahahahah paint ur brake caliper gold, get those sticky white letters and make it say brembo on the brake

 

lol ok ill do that

 

i should proof read what i write and spell brake right

 

I have a white car also. After months of thought, I used 1500 degree
aluminum spray paint. It kinda looks like simi polished cast aluminum finish, brighter than I thought it would look before I did it.
It looked so good (to me) that I also painted the rotor hubs and the outer rim and fin area.
I never get tired of aluminum pieces weather on a bike, motorcycle, car etc.

 

What's wrong with gold/bronze calipers?

 

does anybody have a picture of silver calipers?

 

i would go like a red cuz ima do that and you wanna be cool......right?
