caliper paint chop - whatcha think?
#11
Damn I was thinking about doing white once I got my black rims but since you can't get them clean looking again, eff that! I guess I'll leave them as is or maybe paint them black.
Entaille, it's not bad! I would say do the rears as well for a true look

I'm sure a lot has to do with your prep/paint work in regards to keeping them clean. I'm no painter but it's just a guess. Sand them smooth, few coats of high temp/durable paint and a few coats of clear coat? I dunno.

thanks for the feedback all. I don't really want to deal with trying to keep white calipers clean, black will hide em, red is typical .. this orange is an OEM color for brembos on a few cars - the 350z comes to mind. I get the whole theme thing, but big brakes are something worth highlighting I think.
still not entirely sure what I'm going to do. everyone I ask has an entirely different opinion - when that happens I typically stick to my gut and it turns out awesome either way.
I'd have my professionally painted or powdercoated. I haven't decided yet. some people do really good DIY caliper paint jobs, but that person is not me. : )

Ever since seeing the first pictures of the Porsche 918 Spyder concept, I've been in love with the Lime Green calipers...
I've actually wondered how stripes of that color would look on the Kona Blue Metallic... something besides the normal white or matte black...
Anyways, enjoy...
