what's a good choice for color of caliber if it's black car? Any input is greatly appreciated

 

Shiny black.

 

Red is a nice color but then I am partial to red.

 

would red still ok tho? cause my interior is chaperal?

 

Black with silver logo (Polak's Rx8)

 

that would be XeRo's RX-8...PoLaK is Black with Red lettering..

 

I have red calipers and chappareal interior

 

blk or red
here's mine just done last night

 

wow...you didn;t have to paint your pad's, ya know!? i was wondering what red calipers would have looked like on the Silver...nice job...

 

i know i just always do paint them
makes the caliper,etc look bigger.

thanks

 

Any downsides to painting the pads? I am going gloss black on the calipers and had the thought that having the pads glossy black would be nice. (Of course the black smooth shape of the Brembos would be better)

Any special considerations (preparation etc.) for the pads?
Thanks all

Craig

 

hello craig no downside at all i have always done it cause it makes it look bigger(caliper)
no extra prep.just make sure it dries apply everything with coats
so you dont get drips.

 

No disrespect but when the pads are painted it looks as if it was a home-made job because that's not the way you purchase a "big brake kit" which in a nutshell we are all simulating here. You can buy pads with color (EBC, etc) but in my opinion (and it's not worth much more than .02) just paint the calipers and when done right they look great.

 

i don't understand why you waste time painting them...when you get new brake pads are you gonna re-paint those?...i don't know seems "over the top" to me...but if you like it...great...

 

its cool to each its own.
i have always done it this way cause it does look like a brake kit
to me

the whole thing painted make it look like that.

the caliper of course are different than ours but i tried to make it look as close to it as possible(no sign of brake pad)
