White Calipers *PICS* Opinions Please
 

I did this as an experiment, while I changed my tranny I need opinions, I wanted either red or yellow but wanted to try white and here it is. What do you think? yes or no?

BTW this is high heat temp paint wich holds a maximum of 1500°F. Our calipers go about as high as 500°F max.

No go on the white calipers.

Either black or silver (maybe). Any other color does not look good on a Max, especially on a stock max w/ no brake upgrades.

Nope stay away from colors other than black or silver. I have silver on my car and it looks great.... I mean I like it

White
 

I like it, matching the car and all, but I agree, why draw attention, however little, to stock calipers?

good luck keeping those clean. In about a month or two they will be stained with brake dust and road grime. They look okay right now though:)

i wouldn't go with white because it will start getting dirty and then start looking like a**. It doesnt look bad though, but silver or black would look a lot nicer.

HEY what about chrome? I doubt there is high heat chrome paint though :nervous:

yeah im not really feeling the white... you really cant even see it behind the stock wheels eaither...

I agree with the others. WHite will get so dirty and you will have to re-paint them.

I have never seen a chrome paint that looked chrome.

On stock calipers... either black or silver... everything else is :chebosto:... that of course, is just my opinion... :)

yeah and not to be mean but the quality of how ti got painted doesn't look to good. I don't think white is a very forgiving color.

:sprint: I don't see a point in making the stock calipers stand out more than they already do. Not a good thing.

How about blue?

I did mine in silver because my car is black, but never thought of white. Might look better with white racing rims. Go for yours, its your whip.

How about red?
I painted mine red on my white 2K. Somewhat matches with the rear red bumper lights.

I think stock calipers look best they way they are.

I would say no on the white calipers, they may look clean now but it is just a matter of time.............

Yeah I'd definitely stick with silver or black, unless you have a brake upgrade and have something to show off...

:007: :007: :007:

definitely like the white, but theyre gonna get wicked dirty quick

Funny this thread popped up. I'm doing my front brakes and decided to paint that calipers while everything was taken apart. Bought the silver caliper paint yesterday, and I will be doing it Friday, so I'll post pics when I' done. Also doing the full red tails that day...sweet.

YUP stay away from white....i painted mine white cuz i have a white max too but holy damn that shlt got DIIIIIIIIIIIRTY too quick and it does look like white poop.....

i have to give you props for trying something different,but like others have said,good luck keeping them clean...

i think it'd be ok if u had black or gunmetal wheels, it kinda gets lost in the alloy especially once the road grime builds up like everyone else has said. just use it as a base coat and paint over it

once the dirt and brake dust hits it it wont look as good. I dont think its too bad, but you'll have to be diligent about keeping it clean.

you changed your tranny your self?

not feelin it

Gonna have to :thumbsdow on the white calipers...

just when i think i have seen it all ....

no go buddy.... :007:

not feeling it....id have to agree with black or silver

it's interesting, but it'll be hard to keep clean. i've always been a huge fan of red calipers.. i've painted all 3 sets of my calipers red, the stock, the 300zx and now the AP's... red just looks good =D but that's also because i have a dark colored car.

maybe you want to hit the calipers with a coat or two of high temp clear coat, it might be easier to clean

Definitely black, the white doesn't stand out enough.
