Anyone ever paint their brakes blue? I have gold rims and blue lugs (black car), and questioning whether to keep the caliber's red or paint them.

I have blue calipers...............let me go find the link to the pics.
This was in a thread about Racing Brake rotors, but it does show some pics of my blues.

i painted mine yesterday. duplicolor blue caliper paint that comes in a kit. very nice color. looks like winning blue to me.

Texak

here's some quick pictures i just took. i'm upgrading the rotors and pads today, so that's why there's blue all over

Mazurfer

Wow...............yours are definetely lighter than mine. Did you remember to paint the dustshields black, I can't really tell?

dillsrotary

awesome pics, thanks guys

Mazurfer

If you like the darker blue(and personaly on black I think it would be better), all I did was go to Autozone and got the blue and the black high temp stuff. I think it was Duplicolor and if I get out to the garage today I will look to make sure, but I think it's all they had. I was gonna powdercoat, but just too much effort. oh......and my radiator cap, oil cap, and washer cap now match the calipers and they are all holding up very, very well.

nope, i haven't painted the shields... but the rotors are off and there's no time like the present. thanks for the reminder.


and the pics were in direct sunlight. they look a tad darker in person, but still a little light.

If you have it...............do those shields in black. You will be happy you did.
I have different rotors so I didn't have to do so, but also think about doing around the hub. Although............I just re-looked at your pics, and the hubs look like they have been done in the past.....they look pretty black.
