Someone mentioned painting the calipers gold? That is a big no-no. I think red is the furthest you can push it. Any other bright color and you'd be trying to pass them off as Brembo and Endless, etc. I chose black simply to cover up that nasty caliper rust on my 98'.
Dude I love my rusty brakes. They make my wheels POP.
Paint those calipers!!!
believe it or not, I used generic $1 spray paint from Home Depot. Thank god these are not cast iron like the OEM brakes otherwise the paint would have been melted
Are white calipers a NO_NO on A pearl White Lex ? I was also thinking of painting the rotors on the edges. What do you guys think
I think it would look really tacky. Also, it won't look so white if it will be dirty most of the time. You'd have to clean them everyday so that they'd look "white."
damn.. I painted my calipers with G2 paint and put a high temp clear coat over it about 3 or 4 months ago and its already flaking. I didnt prep the calipers at all with sanding and just used brake cleaner and a rag before applying paint. It seems i have to read for a minimum of 5 hours about anything on here before i do a mod
I just realized something thats very aggravating. The chips on my calipers are only on a few of the corners and i noticed them just after i got my car back from BIG O tires. I dont think its a coincedence, these tards scratched my calipers when they were taking off and putting on my wheels!

That was me. I'm not trying to pass them off for Brembos or Endless. I just think gold is a classy backdrop color that would look good with my setup.
