i've got a grey luster 2k and am getting ready to paint my calipers. anyone got pics of there's painted.

was going to do silver, but had some red engine paint laying around - considering using it.

anyone got pics of red calipers on a grey 5th gen Max?

 

They got alittle chiped when I had my tires replaced, but you can catch the drift.

damm BLaZin 2k MaX
we had the same idea...

 

anyone got red calipers on a gray max?

 

Here are mine:

 

They look nice, as long as you keep them clean. If they start to get real dirty, they look gey ...

 

 

What idea?

 

i really need to paint mine as well...makes a hell of a difference.

 

just not sure about the red on grey...anyone got that setup?

 

well if u look at my rims they are similar to ur car color and it matches pretty well...i think it would look good

 

are you guys painting fronts AND backs or just fronts?

 

not actually on the car but....


I changed mine back to silver cause it looks bling bling.

 

front AND backs...front only will look weird...

Sorta poseur, trying to make people think you've got a trick brembo setup.

 

who? me?

besides, Brembo brakes are painted gold-ish color.

 

I'm going metallic gold once i find the dang color. Gotta love that skyline look

 

>>besides, Brembo brakes are painted gold-ish color.

Not on Porsches.

 

yea the porsches are red too... I love my brembo-esque lol sumitomo 4piston calipers.... love em so much that they're for sale...

check the FS forums

 

yeah i think red is the best to put on any car other then silver or black....

 

I have a Grey Lustre SE and I painted my calipers red - I think it looks great. The small amount of red seems to accent the grey body color with the silver wheels and the black of the tires very well- plus, if you choose your paint right, it compliments the red on the valve cover in the engine compartment.

I wish I could get pics but right now it's snowing out! (damn upstate NY weather! )

 

somebody post silver caliper picks, thats what im about to do

 

silver is going to look pretty much like what you already have. i was considering silver (if i don't do red)...but i'm not sure you will even really be able to notice the difference between stock and silver.

 

me and my freind did his I30 silver....the only diff is that its a little shiniier and it looks alot cleaner...not very noticable especialy with stock rims....

 

yeah, that is why i wasn't sure if i even wanted to waste my time with silver.

 

anyone with a grey ride got red? anyone? anyone?

guess i'll photoshop it!

 

Here are some skyline brakes

 

an orange max?! THATS HOT!

brakes look small though :got_me:

 

What color would you paint your calipers if you have a Merlot (Burgundy) Max?

 

black is what I would do

 

think i'm going to try the red on grey...guess i can repaint if it look rice!

 

I got blue but Blue is my main color. Check my site. and tell me what you think.

 

Here's a few pics I took yesterday:

Hope this is of use to you.

 

Thats a red max but the sun makes it look orange in the camera, and what i meant to say is here are some skyline colored brakes

 

ohh! have u considered painting the car orange?

 

Here's the silver you requested. Ignore the wheel gap, this was taken before the car was dropped. More pics on my CarDomain site.

 

dude, you rock! just what i was looking for, thanks! i think i'm going to go ahead and do red. thanks again for the pics!
