Well folks, I bought a set of 406 brembos, and im fully refurbishing them, but I still dont know wich color to paint them. I have a silver gti 6, and im fitting a set of silver Challengers. Wich color would you paint them? Or what color did you painted yours? Pics would be great Smile

Yellow, cause Clarkson said something bad about colorful calipers at some point :-P

On a silver car, red or purple imo Smile


RE: Caliper paint - osm2121 - 07-10-2014

Red I wont paint them. The first thing every guy does around here, is painting their bloody calipers red! Even red drums! And any car, of any kind.
I was thinking about gold calipers and black letters, or a nice glossy anthracite, with black or silver letters.
Does anyone know how to use photoshop? Angel
Maybe if I send a picture of my car, calipers and wheels, someone can put it all together?
Here are the calipers waiting for me to decide color Tongue

I've seen a few silver 350z's with gold brembos and think they look pretty good, can't seem to find a useful picture though


RE: Caliper paint - Janne L - 08-10-2014

When I was working on mine I realised (after I finished and they were yellow) that I thought the etch primer had looked a lot better, so I'll probably go back to silver or gray :-)

Orange.


RE: Caliper paint - E_KEL95 - 08-10-2014

I think blacks the best colour for calipers may he boring but am not a fan of coloured ones


RE: Caliper paint - swampy - 09-10-2014

They were black on my 406 and I liked them.
Though the 350z gold do look nice


RE: Caliper paint - osm2121 - 09-10-2014

Well, a friend from Brasil, made a photoshop for me, with golden/orangeish calipers and the new wheels, Challengers, and looks awesome!! Guess gold is a serious contender! I wanna try the glossy grafite to see how it looks, and think it will be one of those 2, gold with black letters or grafite with silver/red letters. Damn I´m worst than a girl picking a dress Blush

My guess with silver on silver would be a yellow caliper. That's what Ferrari do. Red on black works on mine.


RE: Caliper paint - Piggy - 09-10-2014

Hmmm I like the gold
