Default Painting Calipars....which color?

Hey guys,

someone always says something dumb like this... he just wants colored calipers, not a bbk. most people won't need a bbk for what they use their z for, so why spend thousands just for the color?

OP: I'd vote either black or same color as your wheels.

This thread has been discussed a million times.....

If your going to paint your stock brakes, only use black or silver, not flashy colors like red or blue.

Why?

Because you don't want to bring any more attention to your already ugly *** stock brakes.

I say do what you like. Tell everyone else to screw off.

I wish I had Brembo, cause I'd make them red. But I don't, and the look isn't worth 1k+ to me....so stockers will live on (mine are stock colored too.)

+1 red calipers looks good on PPW. I used G2 paint instead of the stuff they sell @ autozone, 0'Reily etc.
This is what i did when i had my 05' PPW...click on the paint palette and it'll give you an idea what black caliper look like.
