I painted them matte white, I honestly think they look really good.

Tell me what you guys think

I painted them that way because of the white pin stripe down both sides of the car, my car is colored majestic blue.

Kryogen

yup, for a week
then they will look POS.....
You painted your pad

I did mine last year, they looked good for a week.

Look good!

But like others have said, keeping those pearly white calipers clean will not be fun, lol.

po8pimp

hopefully you used High temp paint and a good clear coat.

Looks good. I would have gone with another color. How do you plan to keep this white caliper from getting brake dust and other road debris on?

Fluxil

Actually, they have been clean since I painted them and I've been coming and going like crazy, I didn't use a clear coat, and I did use a high temp paint. They are just as clean as the day I painted them. Plus I'm 19 and did them myself so ya...

You should have painted the hub as well, once that gets rusty it will look ugly next to a nicely painted caliper. There's nothing wrong with painting the brake pad, I always paint mine and it gives it a nice finish next to the painted caliper IMO.

po8pimp

I do agree, I will have to do that soon since I didn't paint mine while I was doing the calipers.

Yeah, I did mine in black high temp gloss paint. They still look good dirty, but look 100Xs better then the rusty stock look. And yes, hubs gotta be painted to, and pads...no paint.

to each their own, I like the pad painted. Hub is a definite.

mrjasonlyrics

I am not bashing you so I'll get that outta the way. I personally think it's a horrible idea to paint it white because brake dust, debris and oil will build up on it quickly and it won't be bright and white but dirty noticeable. Oh well you'll see in a while if it was a good idea or not, as long as you're happy with it man.

Kryogen

take another pic in 3 months to show us. they will look bad, trust me.

Painting the pads is like painting your furniture when you paint the walls. You don't do that.

Exmaverick

Looks good. I was going to paint my calipers also, but I wasn't to sure how long they would last looking as good as the 1st couple of weeks, so I just decided to get caliper covers instead.

and... wheres this pics ?

Kryogen

oh god have a look at caliper covers on google.
It's worse than what I coud ever have imagined.
It's way worse than a bad paint job

Exmaverick

I like them. Love the way they look. I get a lot of compliments and looks. I guess to each it's own

Kryogen

Might appeal to a certain crowd I guess. I don't see the point having cheapo plastic covers on top of calipers. But that's just me I guess.

Exmaverick

Well, they are not cheap plastic covers like you say. They are made of aluminum and powder coated. I wouldn't put that cheap crap in my car

Kryogen

I understand your point.

But to me, it's still a cheap gimmick that you click in front of your ugly calipers, and it screams fake...
Don't take it personally, I just think it's too ricer for a maxima. I would expect to see that on a 92 civic .

Aubade

I think it's a bad idea to put caliper covers. It'll just make your brakes overheat which is never good.

Btw, where'd you get your window visors? Those are better than the 3M taped visors.

Exmaverick

If your talking about the ones on my side doors, these are WeatherTech visors. They hook on to the door. If your asking about the back window, I got it on ebay painted to color match my car. And it's applied with 3M tape

maxamia04

looks good, but silver would look better!

Fluxil

Just to let you guys know, I have not cleaned them since, and they are still as clean as the day I painted them.
