I didn't think of green, I thought bright orange or red I also really like thisb

Aspect

Anything you want really. Depends on your color/style preferences and what you want your car to look like. Given it is a black wheel I think something high contrast would look good

Do you know what brand of paint I should use

I'd go with G2. Make sure to read and follow the directions. Let the paint fully dry before adding on more coats and fully cure before driving the car.

Just did mine in blue. I really like how they came out.

powder coating is better than painting.

I thought about red and light blue but didnt want to have the raceboy image. Keep it sporty yet luxurious (and keep it Brembos .

LOL, plastic caliper covers.

I call it painting my calipers with a cover. In real life it looks better than any painted oem calipers. Why show off your calipers when they're tiny. I'd rather not paint them at all.

anyone who notices these, e.g. car enthusiasts, is likely going to laugh at your pretend brembo brakes. you aren't fooling anyone.

If you read my orginal post, i made an icon at the end. if i was trying to fool you why would i made that icon?

Like i said anyone running around with painted calipers done it for show. Whether it's sprayed on paint, via bush technique, MGP covers or Brembo covers. ALL for SHOW and no HP gains. You can show off your tiny crap or show off big crap. I think the latter would make your car look nicer. If you're not into looks why paint calipers at all?

No to mention the dangers of caliper covers. Can't imagine if one were to come loose while driving. Plus they also trap heat, increasing likelihood of brake fade. People can do whatever they please for the sake of cosmetics, but when it turns into a hazard, that's just stupid.
