i am going to call BS on this one

 

LOL Anyone buy that?

I love my factory red Brembos.

 

why would anyone paint something good.... rotora... stoptech... wilwood.... all of them prob cost half of what he paid for the car

 

I painted my Brembo's Silverstone, same color as my car. It looks awesome.

So my vote goes to:

Don't paint stock calipers
Paint aftermarket or Brembo's the same color as the car.

 

I have painted calipers...

 

I disagree.

 

beall, yours look good... red pops against white, but those are high dollar so we know you didn't cheap out on them

 

theyre just really good covers - scored them on ebay, best offer and free shipping from china!!
nah, theyre legit...straight from stillen...I ordered the 6 pot but couldnt cram them below the 18" wheels I had at the time so I had to go down to a 4 pot...thank you for the kind words - one of the more enjoyable mods I've done!

 

Yellow would look good on a set of aftermarket or Brembo calipers with your color

Non-Brembo OEM calipers should be left alone

 

ROTFL!!! I thought I was the only one shaking his head in disbelief when I first saw those "brake covers". Oh good gawd.... modern day version of coffee can exhaust tips that fit over 1.5" tailpipes....

 

As others have said, if it's the stock calipers you're thinking about painting, don't. It's rice. If you're getting aftermarket brakes, then go crazy. I also have a san marino blue and was deciding between red, gold, and light blue similar to the rotora blue, which I think would all look good if you went with one of those. Yellow would also look good with the dark blue but would have clashed with my wheels.

I ended up going with this color





Not exactly unique or revolutionary as red is probably the most common caliper color, but I felt it simply worked best considering my car and wheel color combo. I also tried to distinguish them from the typical red caliper by going with a deeper custom red. It's hard to capture how they look in person. They're a ruby/candy apple-ish red in low light conditions and more of a traditional red in direct sunlight.
