Thanks for the link, RWagz.

 

I was just looking at my new blck one and i am going to paint the calipers a high gloss black as well as the wheel hub and the back of the rim the same color

 

What?

 

my car is all black aswell paint them black they look nice when ur in motion i let my bro drive my car so i could see them and im glad i didnt pick red or yellow

 

The best color is no color.
If you're going to fake the funk of having a BBK do it right with the ebay brembo covers.



BBK > stock > brembo covers > painted OEM.

 

you must be smoking something

 

I painted mine neon brown! Looks like crap!!!! he he he

 

Need to paint mine now that I got the black wheels.

 

I would recommend not going with paint on your caliper but take them off and get them powder coated. And since there off the car anyways you can also powder coat the dust covers.

I asked for mat black and silver... apparently silver means chrome to the powder coaters...

 

wow, how much for powder coating? I would love to coat then gold

 

powder coat should run about $35 to $50 per caliper (depending on color you choose). Dont let them charge you for oven time... that is bs. You can usually get a better price if you are willing to wait.

 

vs. $10-15 for the paint and do all 4 yourself. I'm sure the powder coat is nice, but $140-200 bucks for painted calipers?? hellz no.

 

i saw a BB with silver calipers at UMBC today. looks very nice.

 

why would you poweder coat? high temp rattlecan primer and a 2 or so coats of spray paint and your good to go for years..

 

i guess it depends on where you drive your car. Iv seen plenty of examples of fading chips on paint in less year. Road salt does some strange things to paint... might not be salt anymore.

If spray paint work for you go for it, but you should look into pc as a alternative.

 

I forgot this is a nation wide forum (duh). I live in florida so we dont have any salt or anything on the roads.. here I have done several calipers and none have chipped or faded. I couldnt tell you what would happen up north with different climate and stuff.

 

I just hope mine last during a track day... 900th post!!!
