So I got bored about a month ago and painted my brake calibers (NOTE: I started takening pics after painting one caliber):
Before:



After:

 

Anyone else paint their break calibers?

 

I painted mine red and ordered "350Z" decals from JVD graphics. I don't really have a good picture with the wheels on, but here is a pic of a rear caliper after I got it done.



They look pretty good, I think. I've never done anything like this before.

 

This maybe a dumb question, but did you take calipers off the rotars? What kind of brake paint did you use?

 

how did u do the lettering?

 

caliPer.

 

jamnew, I didn't take the calipers off. Some people might, but I didn't. I don't know enough about the brakes to be messing w/ them so I left them on. I just taped off what I didn't want painted. As far as the paint, I believe it was G2 brake caliper paint, it was about $34.

 

I ordered the decals from JVD Graphics

 

I got bored and took a pic w/ the wheels on (but they are kind of dirty). Sorry for the huge pic, how do I post pics as thumbnails?

 

I painted mine using G-2 paint.

OT but what rotors are those?

I've seen nothing but red painted calipers. Has anyone painted theirs yellow or know someone who has? Just wondering because I'm planning on doing this and was thinking about the yellow color.
Thanks.

 

Hypersprite,

They are EBC rotors...........

I thought so, I have been looking at those, I might have to go ahead and get them. Do you also have the green stuff pads or are you using something else?

Chris

 

Refer to the first post. I painted mine black.

 

Yellow I think not and if your car is silver

 

Yeah, my car is Silver Stone color. Just thought the yellow would look okay. But after seeing a lot of red calipers, it's starting to grow on me!

 

Black!!! Black always looks good.

 

Robert_K, which paint did you use? And would you recommend it?

 

I used a high temp spray paint that you can pick up at any local auto parts store. If you want the name brand and name of color I will have to give that to you later tonight when I get home.
