I agree with Jerky 8. I don't really care for red calipers on the tit grey either. Looks clean but just not my taste. :o But that black with the red writing looks great!!!

Looks great. Is it me or do the rims make the red better? I don't think red on stock 18' rims would look all too great.
Know what I mean?

But if any greys out there have pics, plz post!

Thank you....

:D

Saw a Porsche today w/yellow calipers andit looked pretty nice. Iwonder how thatd look against stock rims w/Titanium

Mine are a Dark Blue and Its Looks Nice, EspiacaLLY with the neons on

I just painted mine today. I used the Duplicolor kit (12.99 at Meijers) and finished it up in ~1.5 hrs. It took about 5-10 minutes per caliper per coat, and by the time I was done with all four, I started again with a second coat and then a third.The red calipers really look awesome. The best part is that I managed to do it all right through my 17" winter rims. No drips...just a steady hand and great results! I'll post pics later today.

You did it without removing the tires? Nice.


PICS!!!

Im thinking about getting my Tit Gray calipers done a copper/gold colour

Similar to the G35 Coupe

I think it looks pretty kickass

paint it red i just painted mine red last night and everyione today told me it looked good

I agree! Finally found my color!
I have a sunlight silver and the copper color is great!.

Very nice...I like the gold on grey, yellow too, though it would be a bit brighter

hmmm copper would be pretty cool. I'm trying to decide on this for the spring as well.

Good thread.

I think it's ok on the G35C because of their brakes. This is what it says, "Hey look at me... I have Brembos. Oooh and Ahhh at my brakes. BREMBO.. sucker" when our brakes are as good or even better just without the brand name and the higher price. I wouldn't want to copy them either. I say innovate or stay the same. Of course, I would say different, if I got the G35C instead :p

I still have yet to decide. I just got the rotary center caps which I have yet to install so I am leaning towards gray or black.

Here are the pics...

While on the topic of paint jobs...here are some other DIY jobs that can enhance the look of the 8 (Rotary accent and rear "grill" are silver painted)

Just did mine in Yellow. I was inspired by this thread. Thanks for the great color idea for the Titanium. I would have never had the nuts to go this route on my own:

Titanium/Yellow

Did yellow myself on the weekend. Here's a shot from my Phone's camera... better shot to come.

Lovin it aren't you? I know I am! Looks much better than I even expected it to.

Yeah, totally. After I finished getting my summer tires back on (I swapped off the winters, and painted the calipers), I drove it to the corner gas station and checked the tires. My low fuel light came on while it was idling, so I popped in a couple bucks of gas until I could get to my regular station. When I came out from paying, I literally stopped in my tracks because the calipers looked so sharp.
