Would painted red calipers look good on a black car? Or what do you think would look the best? Thanks for the opinions...

I didn't paint mine body color because I thought only good brake paint would stand the test of time, but I have a grey ride so the black looks mighty nice for now.

hello wheelgap


Looks good though...Its weird, i notice our color can change shades pretty easily in pictures, more so that other paint. Maybe our paint is just sensitive to lights changes, but i have some pictures that if i put next to others, you wouldnt think its the same car and color...

I used some paint called plasti-kote touch up paint for imports from Advance Auto Parts...I have never used any high temp paint on any of my stuff....and have never had any probs w/it I just clean the area real good and then apply like 5 coats about 15-20 mins apart...

wheel gap means I don't scrape on anything....

thanks guys for the replies....

I just ordered some gold folia-tec paint system kit and the gold seems to match up pretty well. Ive bought dupli-color gold engine enamel awhile back before but the gold seems too bright to me. I just decided to fork out the $40 for it. Ill let you know how it looks when it comes.
