All the colors are great when the calipers are clean, but if you're running anything like a track pad, the calipers will be black in no time. The wife's GS F came with orange calipers, but they're only rarely actually clean. Even the ceramic pads I have on it now cough up enough dust to make them not bright pretty quickly.

That's the whole reason I balk at repainting my calipers anything but black.

Default Update!


Before


Welp ended up going with burnt copper and NO REGRETS! Love it and I get a lot of compliments. Took me 5 hours total to remove old paint + new paint. Still need to put on the decal, anyone know where I can get reflective brembo decals? 👀

replaced all 4 brake pads and rotors while I was at it too went with the OEM brembos
