I have to say don't paint your calipers white for a couple reasons:
1) Color simply will never match / brightness will never match / quality paint will not match...
2) Brake dust will make you wish they were the completely opposite color...
3) It's not going to look as hot as it sounds

BUT if you do go ahead and paint them post pics.

 

hardest part is removing the phillips head screws holding the rotors on - make sure you have an impact driver on hand ....

 

Make sure your safe. Proper jack stand and jack.

Also use the correct tools.

 

right im gonna make sure he has one so i can properly get them back on... i dont want'em falling off... im gonna make sure he has one...

 

well my dad has his painted and they look sick... but you really think THAT much brake dust will get on em??? i mean i wouldnt think that much... you know to cover the whole caliper...

 

just use it for taking them off - not putting them back on . No way are your rotors going to fall off - it's the wheel nuts that do most of the work ....

 

right... well i might use them a little if i start getting tired... :D

 

heh
got a suggestion for you . Buy your dad a few beers and tell him to supervise - not actually do the work . Best way to learn ......

 

yeah thats what i was thinking about... or actually thats what i wanta do... heh ill be sure to tell him that i wanta do it...thanks brettus

 

He has his painted white?

The amount of brake dust depends greatly on the type of brake pads you use, you whole wheel can get covered after a couple days honestly. It's like when you run your finger over the top of a dresser that hasn't been dusted in a long time, and you get that film of dust? Yea same thing, your wheel has that crap & of course it will get on your calipers.

Ultimately its your decision, I just wouldn't do white if it were mine.

 

his were red...but yeah idk if im gonna do it...

 

Well I don't want to be too negative, just make sure you want to do it and be happy once you've done it, don't have regrets.

 

lol... well idk what color, i mean i dont want them looking like cheap Brembo brakes but i dont want them getting overly dirty... White would look bad-***.... Anyone have and opinions on what i should do?

 

Cheap Brembo brakes?!?

For what it's worth.... painted non fixed OEM brake calipers look like: painted OEM brake calipers that someone took a Krylon can to- no matter what color- gloss or matte.
Want bling in your wheel? Then buy some fixed caliper brakes.
Want a good caliper that does more than adequate work in hauling your car down repeatedly with fade free performance? Then keep your ugly OEM brakes or buy some fixed caliper brakes and watch the glossy paint fade and spendy logo burn off after the caliper sees some intense heat cycles.

 

Thats not what i mean bro.... Brembo are the best brakes you can get IMHO, chill dude... :D lol what im talking about is spaying them red might make them look like theira offbrand of Brembo, like cheap looking... and i dont want that...

 

Isn't that what you're going for?

Spray paint the OEM caliper. Step back and have a look at it. What does it look like? Probably looks like a spray painted OEM caliper, eh?

Lol. Whatever! Just do whatever makes you happy and be less concerned about what the internet thinks. Hehehehe.

 

nah bro... i just want them to look good behind the wheels not cheap, im not into that cheapy **** that those ppl in their honda civics do... but idk what color to pick... red or white...

 

Perhaps some illustrations will drive home my point.

Does this turd look better in white?




Or in gold?




Now how does this look in white?



How 'bout this in gold?





Hint: Turd=OEM Caliper No matter how much you try to dress them up- they are what they are.

 

sigh... lol, well if it makes you feel any better idk if im still doing it...
