Hey everyone just wondering if anyone had some good pics of different color calipers on a chrome silver Z.

I realize chances are slim but if someone has a Chrome Silver Z Touring with stockies and yellow or red calipers, that would be amazing cause those are the two main colors Im thinking about

It doesnt have to be Touring, Im thinking about getting either Charcoal Grey or Black rims soon.

Thanks in advance!

 

if you don't have a BBK, please do not paint stock calipers.

 

silver or black

 

Painting OEM brake callipers is an automatic 90-day suspension. You know that right?

 

I painted mine but I have better pads rotors and lines plus they say 350z now kinda like when the 300zx said Nissan

 

Ouch no caliper paint for me??

 

dont worry about what anybody else says, It is your car do what you like... I painted my calipers red, but I have a black car and my rims are black with a red lip so it was an easy decision for me.

 

I originally wanted red but went with the dark grey Akebono setup and the colors look great together in person.

 

save up a little $, buy a used set of OEM brembos
paint/powder coat them whatever color you like. make sure they are stripped down properly and buy some replacement hardware, don't be lazy and cheapout buy just spraying over everything - you'll be happier with the end result when done right.
Personally, I think a custom mag blue set of brembos would looks nice on the silver car with darker wheels (gunmetal or black) that show the calipers off.

Blue on silver for reference


Close to the color I am talking about


Actual Volk Mag Blue color I am talking about.

I didn't know you were on the forums. We met at the Emerald City Z meet
Nice car btw!

 

I disagree. I painted mine black and I rather like how they look against the silver car and rims. I have no good pictures though =\

 

suspend me then.
Mine are G2 gold on a flat black car.
BBK? Yeah sure. But just not now.

Bigger fish to fry, and I dont race.
I only need to stop hard ONCE.
Stock is fine for that.

 

I painted my calipers red using the G-2 system.

 

Guys, cannot you not see how ugly the stock calipers are? Don't bring attention to them and if you must paint them, make sure it's either silver or black!

 

 

1. I am 17, Brembos (even used) will run me thousands. Lord knows I would do terrible things for a nice set of rotors and big brakes.

2. I dont classify spraying a set of calipers red as "spraying over everything" and being lazy and a cheapout. On the contrary, I believe ANY work on the car that you do personally is a good thing; personalization.

I appreciate your comment, its just not realistic for someone who makes 10/hr part time and has to pay for the car monthly and gas weekly.

 

Did my first brake replacement the other day, found out that my calipers are painted black already! Haha very hard to notice with the wheels on

 

black is fine. i was referring to colors like red, blue, yellow, and other that would just draw attention to them.


edit: OP is 17....... oh snap.

 

Does this include becoming gainfully employed w/ a part time job
after you're done w/ school and homework? What a fantastic concept.

Both points needed clarification.

What are your thoughts?
