I painted mine recently, I did black and I notice them.

If you've got a nice set of calipers I can see painting them but the stock calipers look like crap and are tiny. I recommend painting them flat black to hide them. That's what my plan is.

Why would you want to highlight shiitty stock brakes? Black or Refresh the silver IMO.

Save all your money and upgrade to OEM Brembos.

I know people dislike painted calipers but I have had mine painted for about 10 years now and I think they look pretty good.Here is a pic of mine.

Ti Gray - Porcelainized



Oooops, wrong forum.... LOL.

But seriously, my wife's Niz and my Volvo have porcelainized calipers. NEVER needs paint, NEVER needs cleaning other than spraying them off while washing the car. The curb rash? Uhhhh...... well...... wasn't me!! No really, I bought it that way. HAR!

Never really cared or even noticed Volvos until a nicely modded one ricer revved on me. Pretty cool at 325hp in the new 60r.

an old buddy has an S60R - brakes & the pegasus' are a sexy pair! I thought Volvo (ford) could have done more to give it more pep - considering how heavy it is and it's a 2.5liter turbo it's still pretty sweet!

oh, don't paint the calipers - nothing will tell the world you're out of touch with reality than painted brake calipers!!

I didn't mean what color should I paint my STOCK calipers, Im just asking what colors would look nice.... Im looking into buying new ones, just wanted some suggestions on color matches.

On that color the OEM style Brembo gold would probably look pretty good...and they look even better when they are all discolored from track abuse!!

+1 on not painting the stock calipers...the amount work it takes for such a shallow cosmetic addition to stock brakes makes the whole concept a little shaky. Money and time better spent for good pads, stainless lines and good fluid.
