Default Thinking of painting the Brembo's

Im thinking of painting my calipers. But Im not sure what color to go with. Im on the fence with 3 colors Blue, Red, and Yellow. My Car is SGM and the dark color will look f=good with some bright accents behind the wheels.

I think the yellow screams especially behind my wheels when I finally get them re-coated black.

The Blue is more a Lexus F theme. Its nice, but more subtle.

And then there is classic Brembo red. You cant go wrong with this.

Post some of your pics if possible. That will help me, and Im sure there are other people looking to do the same.

Yellow = USB, Blue = Obsidian, and Red = SGM. How about silver with red brembo lettering (I.e., real Brembo color scheme).

I've been thinking the same.. also coming from a SGM F owner, I feel a brighter accent would help to set off the dark SGM color. Curious to see what you'll go with. My wheels are a bit brighter (SSR SP3s in Titan Silver), so I'm wondering how a gold colored caliper paint would turn out. If all else fails, as you said - can't go wrong with brembo red!

^I love the blue in that pic that you put up. I say that color for sure. In fact, I just might do my own calipers in that color. How are you planning to paint them? By hand with a brush, massive amounts of taping off and spray paint, or are you going to take them completely off the car and paint them that way?

Since you like all the colors....I'd do all 3, a red yellow blue rainbow caliper!

Red is always classy for a brembo, but I'd prob do yellow to get more attention to those bbk

I have the yellow and due to my car being black with graphite CV3's, it really sets them off and would pick it again if I was to do it all over again.

I did the blue and had the F logo on the fenders painted blue to match.

I'm very happy with the outcome.
