All,

I have an Onyx SE with black leather interior and I am thinking about painting my brake calipers. I thought I had seen a pic of a Max in the forum with red ones (looked pretty sharp).

Has anyone else painted theirs? If so can you post a pic?

Thanks...

I recommend a 2-part catalyzed paint for this - much more durable:

I have the same car your talking about and I painted mine black first and they didn't stand out enough for me so I painted them red and like it much better.

I went a little overboard and painted the calipers and outer edge an aluminum color. The center of the disk was painted black. I disassembled and cleaned the entire brake assembly with a spray-on brake cleaner. Let dry and then masked of the areas I did not want to get paint on with newspaper. The paint was any spray-on from the auto parts store. If your brakes are squeaking, this would be a good time to put some brake quiet goo between the brake pads and calipers.

04SEelite: Any body shop would do it for under $40. I got it done for $30

Just did my cardomain site. Didn't have alotta pix of my car though. I'll try to take better pics of the car next time. and update frequently.

I wish the calipers came painted red, I am considering painting them myself using Viper1's technique!
