To paint my brake calipers... my car is of course black cherry. I was thinking the customary 'red' might not look too good with the black cherry.
Opinions??

In fact I wouldnt paint my caliper any other color than black. Actually silver might not look too bad either. To me red or any other color just screams cheap painted calipers. If you are only painting them for rust protection, might as well pain them a discreet color. ivory8 02-04-2008, 09:33 PM gold??? ЯX-8 02-04-2008, 09:38 PM IMO, painting the brake calipers makes the car look cheap. TopGear8 02-04-2008, 09:44 PM I have a BB, with black wheels. and i painted my calipers red. I think it looks very nice and have had many complaments. snipaz2420 02-04-2008, 10:41 PM i was thinking gold as well 05shinka 02-04-2008, 10:56 PM i thought about black.... gold is a big NO..sry... too blingy for me... i thought abought some shade of purple?.?.? Fortunate Few 02-05-2008, 02:17 PM well if gold is a no then black. but gold would look good. lxlxlxl_saki_lxlxlxl 02-05-2008, 04:08 PM GOLD / BLACK. Gold ftw 05shinka 02-15-2008, 10:41 PM bump for any other ideas?.?.?.? Nopstnz8 02-16-2008, 12:56 AM +1 for Gold! If not gold, try something like a gunmetal gray or black. Don't do red that would look really bad IMO. superdon2 02-19-2008, 01:55 PM silver or.. gunmetal? because they make the calipers more discreet as they blend well with the rotors. 05shinka 02-19-2008, 06:39 PM I wish i could find a pic of a Black Cherry 8 with the calipers painted red just so i would know if i liked it or not..... Fortunate Few 02-20-2008, 03:50 AM you cant find a pic because all the other owners think gold looks better :) haha. |
