Default Calipers

Has anyone painted their brake calipers? Im considering it because it might be a good compliment to the dual exhaust and racing stripes Ive done so far, what do you guys think? I have a white mustang with black stripes, Im thinkin mayb red with a black "MUSTANG" in the middle.

my car is white as well and my stripes are on the way. I was thinking of painting them white to show through the black bullits that i will one day get..........just worried about them getting too dirty. So i guess i will probably paint them black, that is unless you guys dont think they would get too dirty. goin for a whole black and white type theme.

HAHAHA thats exactly what Im doing! Everything will be black and white. Well except for the calipers, I think I might want them red (anyone have ne input). I want black wheels also but I think that will be the last thing I do with the appearance (I want to buy more for $1500 than just wheels and tires, like scoops etc.). In the mean time Im going to get lowering springs to take a chunk out of the awful gap between the tire and wheel well it has with the 16" wheels. If you are going to go w/ black or white I would go with white. My friend has a camaro Z28[:'(] and he painted them black to contrast his white car white but you can't tell the difference at all, actually I forgot he did it until I started writting this .

Puleo76: thanks, once I decide on a color Ill let u know how it goes. I might do it this weekend.

im with ya on the wheels and springs definitely. I think i will go white. i have seen them red and they do stand out nicely......really gives it a performance look in my opinion.

nicarc...those are not Jroth's wheels. Jroth's wheels are Foose Nitrous and they cost $400 a piece. Just thought I'd let you know. I asked Jroth because I love his wheels.

Yes, Jroth's has a sweet ride, and those are definitely one of the best wheels I've seen to date for our cars!!!!
