Hey guys,

About to do a brake upgrade to the Akebono kit but before I do I need to powder coat them. Can't seem to make up my mind on what color to make them though!

Let's hear all your artistic inputs!

 

Covers are all the rage...

Black (with a flake), silver, or dark purple.

 

Damn dark purple looks sick! I dunno about dark purple on white though :/ def would do it on all black car.

 

I always liked the dark purple with white. I remember seeing it on another user's car...

 

I need to see this! Looking for an image lol.

knock yourself out

 

Remember zebra stripe gum? The exact colors in order across caliper

 

neon pink

 

I have always wanted to do mine red, but I think black would look good as well. Simply cleaning them up to make them nice and shiny/matte gray might look good as well.

I wouldn't go the route of caliper covers, but thats just me; and DO NOT get knock off covers, like brembo or something.

 

Oem gold imo

 

You should have pink.

 

Yellow, gold, or red.

 

Why is this in intake and exhaust

 

Agreed!

OP. Did you already buy the brakes? I bought mine in the red so I wouldn't have to powdercoat them. IMO red is the way to go for them. I wouldn't do black, I think black is to hide brakes, not show them off.

 

Take off the front mudguards.

 

Anybody ever polish and clear coat?

 

Black. Brakes are for stopping, not showing off, imo. I've always done my calipers in black.

 

my suggestion is to do them interlagos fire or closest to volk magnesium blue

 

If you're not going to do them an OEM Brembo gold (which you really shouldn't since they're not brembos) or red (which is common), go crazy. You have a white car. It will literally be able to pull off whatever you want. You could do a teal or an electric/bright color. You could do a white with a paint splatter pattern. You could even do that Mazora (color change). If you want to keep it conservative but not like everyone else, try yellow. Ferrari, Lambo, and Porsche all use it. Personally, if I were going to PC my calipers a different color than the norm, I'd go REALLY different.

 

Are you serious?
Brakes get crazy hot.


This whole thread is just... phail sorry OP
