Painting Brake Calipers. What Color?

cejaay13 · 06-22-2006, 02:21 AM

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to paint my brake calipers, just as soon as I decide on a color.
I need help. Does any one have pictures of there's? So I can get some ideas.
All suggestions and opinions are welcome. By the way my Stang is Tungsten Gray.

Thank you

About colors.... Mineral gray pony .... that is a tought one..... I would stick to some gray/ chrome...... loud color may make the calipers stick out of place.....IMO

I was thinking of painting mine, and I have tungeston grey, and I was thinking about black.

I've been considering painting my calipers too and was thinking I'd go with black.

Hot Pink would be amazing.....

Ok maybe not...black would be the only color I'd do with your color.

Red would look good too I think. I saw a pic somewhere of a gray stang with the red calipers.
Looks great IMO.

Thank you for all the feed back. I'm going to look for some pics. I will post when I find them.

I found a picture, Its of a GT but it will work. I have painted the calipers in MS Paint. (not the best quality) I even made some hot pink ones for blazen351...LOL

I think black would look the best, but it wouldn't stand out if that's what you're going for. In that case, I think a red "brembo" look would be cool.
