Color of brake calipers?

[aphu]

Should I paint my brake calipers yellow or red?? Yellow would match my yellow fogs. And red is just my fav color. Opinions?

Ya, I have same question.

I painted my calipers red on metallic slate.

[aphu]

White with black rims

[DJ_B_Easy]

Then white, black, or silver. No other color themes to the car?

IMO go white. And use a G2 kit.

[ShadowAC]

IMO white, it isnt done enough and against the black rims with a white coupe i think itll look really nice, if you keep them clean of brake dust, otherwise itll look tacky

but yeah my vote is white... unless you really only want red or yellow, then id go red

[aphu]

Yeah I want to do white but I'm afraid they will get dirty really fast... And how would I clean them? Just water?

Sorry but what is a G2 kit? Lol

[ShadowAC]

G2 kit is just a little kit used to paint calipers, comes with everything you need (brush, color, ect.) and they are cheap, it isnt a spray so its less likely to chip

[aphu]

Alright thanks. Should I paint match it with my car if I do white? Or should I just do any white

[DJ_B_Easy]

I imagine your white is a pearl, matching that on calipers is going to require removing them and I doubt you want to do that, and I also imagine you wont be able to DIY. Just do a standard G2 white.

You always post the good stuff after I buy w/e I want. What about those VHT spray cans? I just got one 3 days ago, they any good?

[ShadowAC]

the white will get dirty but they will proly clean right up with a sponge and water if you can reach in there when you wash your car, its shouldn't cake on there and be hard to clean unless you less it sit for months lol

[turbocoupe]

The calipers on the G37 Infinites ‘are silver. That’s what color I am going to do mine in.

I dont like them. If you are going to use a spray can I would have bought Duplicolor. But the G2 kit is a self leveling paint so you dont get runs or thick spots, its like an epoxy and goes on real even. Just takes a little extra time because you have to apply it with a brush and be a little more careful. Worth it though in my opinion.

What else are you planning to buy so I can tell you not to?

LOL! well, Greddy ti-c catback is on its way and so is the k&N intake + BD tuner. But $40 is kinda pricey for a caliper paint don't you think?

[aphu]

it is kinda pricey.. i was just gonna go to lowes for home depot and buy high heat paint lol

[DJ_B_Easy]

But $40 is kinda pricey for a caliper paint don't you think?

Not at all. Ive seen the result of spray on vs G2 on my friends Alty Sedan. There is no comparison. Its your car man, if you want it to look subpar, keep buying subpar products. I give your spray can paint job a year through next winter before it starts to chip off and look like Fisher Price My First Mod.
