Painted Calipers

Has anyone seen or have any pics of an 04 Maxima with painted calipers? I'm curious how my red Max would look with red calipers. Any thoughts?

Just my own opinion but I think it would look Honda ish. Not my bag but everyone has their own flavor I suppose.

I Think that it would look great ! You can see alot of the calipers with the SE wheels.

I'm debating if i should paint mine silver or black.

Once I feel like removing the wheels I'm most likely painting them red or black.

I'm going to try using this kit (that's as soon as i'm not too lazy to pull the wheels off). It's got everything you need and probably easier than spray painting:

I haven't seen too much red maximas. Can you post some pics?

Also, I haven't seen any painted calipers, but shouldn't it look kinda sexy, red...???

This isn't the greatest pic, but here she is. I'm not too sure yet, but I'm thinkin' red calipers would look pretty slick. I just dont want to look like your typical ricer.

Black is the best colour to paint the calipers. It will radiate the heat more than any other colour, therfore keeping the brakes cooler. Not that it would make any apparant difference. lol

Heres a little photoshop.... I actually bought the grey kit for mine. I havent got around to doing it yet. I did however learn not to put any kind of "All wheel cleaner" on nissan calipers. The green alge did appear. Does this picture help any?

Red or yellow calipers look best with white or black cars. Nice and racy (as in fast) looking.
Black or silver calipers look best with just about any color car, especially when in contrasting colors.
Same color calipers and cars? Nice for a gals car.

Thanks. Koreanmaximan. Also, thanks to the dude that posted the photoshop. That gives me a better visual. I think dark red would look good on my red. If anyone else has seen any please post 'em. Thanks
