I bought a used tC that came from the East coast. The calipers have begun to oxidize and look kinda crappy. I was thinking about painting them. The car is BCP, was considering black or silver...what color have you painted yours?

 

PW xB with Black Wheels & Blue Calipers.

What color are your rims? Might help narrow choice of color for calipers. If silver, black calipers...if black, silver calipers.

 

We can help you with the paint once you decide on the color. This stuff is awesome!

G-2 Brake Caliper Paint System
The G-2 Brake Caliper PaintSystem Set was developed to show off a vehicle’s brake components through open-spoke style alloy wheels. It can be used to give all of a vehicle’s stock brake calipers the look of expensive, painted, high performance calipers, as well as add color to rear drum brake-equipped vehicles. Easily applied as a brush-on, the PaintSystem Set is engineered for universal application on automotive brake calipers and drums, and will even help protect these vital brake components from potentially harmful oils, chemicals and rust.

The PaintSystem Sets are available in eight high-gloss, wear-resistant colors that can be selected to complement or contrast a vehicle’s primary and/or accent colors. Available colors include: Red, Yellow, Blue, Silver, Gold, Black, Purple, Green and White.

Our experience indicates that a PaintSystem Set provides sufficient materials to paint 4 brake calipers, or 2 brake calipers and 2 brake drums. However vehicles with large brake calipers on the front axle and large brake drums on the rear axle may require two complete PaintSystem Sets to assure adequate coverage.
