Hey,

I just got new rims and i want to paint my calipers, but i have no idea of what colour would look good.

I know it needs lowering....getting that done next month, and getting a tint done next week :D

Thanks!

GO RED

red for sure :D

canary yellow (just do be different)...

red will be fine, or black for Essendon/Perth/North Sydney colour combination with the red car.

thanks guys

i was thinking red or black.. but im worried that bright glossy red would clash with the colour of my car, cause its kind of an orangey browny red weird colour.... ("burra" if we want to get technical)...

would you even be able to see black? maybe it would just make it look nice and clean and simple...

if ya can find a similar red to the car .. that would be awesome ... otherwise black would be fine

do ya mind if i ask how much ya go those wheels for .. i was quoted $1600 .. never seem em on a magna before .. but they look AWESOME !

Black makes them almost impossible to see.

In my opinion the reason for painting calipers is to draw attention to that area of the car. When I got my 18's fitted the shop painted my calipers black - which I didn't really like.

Recently painted them bright yellow - which definetly achieves the job of "drawing attention". If you can't decide on a specific colour but you don't want your calipers to be invisible (ie black) i'd suggest the "brushed aluminium" colour in the VHT caliper paint range. Neutral but still visible.

Hey Esemte, thanks, i got them in a wheel and tyre package for $1900.

Thanks for your replies everyone, if i can find a similar colour red to my car ill do it that colour i think.... if i spray them myself, and dont like it... is it removable?! :confused:

Go red or yellow. I can't make up my mind yet so i got both, red on drivers side yeloow on passenger side until i decide. Pushing more towards the yellow

I don't want to paint mine, I want to bolt on some nice red brembos ;)

Go the RED!!!

I agree, paint them the same as the car or bright red so they can stand out....

haaha ive changed my mind .. go CHROME !! :bowrofl:

I have seen Calipers painted Heat resistant Gold before and they looked tuff..
Why not see if they make a Heat resistant Fluro green..

why dont you make the brakes look really neat and just remove the callipers all together.... :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Ever since i painted my calipers red my brakes squeal, I cant work out why But a few people think that the r high performance brakes so it always go along with that.
