Well, I'm planning to do something over the winter break, something that's not entirely performance wise, what I want is something to make my car LOOK better. Painting the car is too much, and havent decided on good rims that matches SSM yet, so I'm thinking to paint my calibers red, I know this might be rice to many of you but I want to hear from everyone, THANKS and be honest!

 

I love my red calipers on my BSP, but silver might be better for you...

Go with the good brush on sets, like G2 or The Duplicolor brush on... they come in boxes and are really easy to apply by brush and are much more tough that spray paint....

 

what do you silver might be better for me? Silver calibers? Hmm, well, I prefer red calibers personally so I guess maybe I'll do it~ ANyone has more pics of painted or any opinion?

 

I've seen Blue on Silver, Black on Silver, Silver on Silver, Red could work I guess....

I liked the blue as well...

Try a search for "Painted Calipers" you should be able to dig up a couple of pics.... hopefully some on your body color.

 

i have red calipers with ssm the pictures are bad but they kind of show you...

 

yes i know the tires are very dirty[/img]

 

cali PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPers

not calibers unless you're painting guns or somethin.

 

I like the red contrast on SSM. When painting calipers, just be prepared to be doing it all day. You have to put on many coats of caliper paint to get it right. WeDriveScions is right about getting the brush-on paint. Be sure to get better paint brushes from Home Depot or wherever. Here's a pic to show you the finished look...

Calipers turned out very good. Good luck.

 

^ Wow... I never even noticed that! LoL

 

This is a great DIY mod, but I believe this has been discussed before of why people should do it @ all since our braking system is weak and why would you want people attracted to your car. Oh well, once again... it is in your hands and have fun with it!

To bad BBKs are freakin' expensive, just like buying a new set of wheels! My future plans are to StopTech or Brembo (If they ever) on the front and then paint the rear calipers to match (RED).

 

I painted the calipers red on my SSM. Trust me - it looks fantastic. You won't regret it.

 

woah, i think i WILL do it now, but more pics and what kind of paints do you use? I saw this kit from autzone that includes primer, brush, and paint(not spray paint). Anyone use the same thing or..?

 

I got a similar kit - it had a brush and a can of red paint and a big can of brake cleaner. If the one you are looking at doesn't have that make sure to pick some of that up too and use a lot of it before you get started.

 

What color do you think for a black cherry pearl TC? black? Red? silver?

 

YEAH I WANNA KNOW TOO

 

ANY PICS?

 

Silver? Nah, too boring. I would go black on BCP unless you have black rims. You could go red, but it depends on the WOW!-factor. Black=conservative, yet clean. Red=Hello there! It all depends on the type of person you are. I am loud and brash, so I chose red. I had better stop. Its gettin' way too 'deep' in here!

 

How about on a FM with stock rims? Im thinking red or yellow

 

I say no. Personally, painting stock calipers to give them that "performance look" is a ricer move. I am keeping my stock color till I get the BBK. Thats just me though.

 

whoever asked about the FM i am doing mine red after seeing this other guys tC
everytime i look at thenm now i say to myself not to do it, but when i look at the dudes pics it makes me want too
