Posted by FlyinEsi, Sep-15-04 04:45 AM
I'm having a very hard time deciding between painting the calipers red, black, or gunmetal...please post a pic of your painted calipers, maybe a close up and a far away picture.

Thanks!!

Here's a link of when I installed my GSX calipers and new rotors from raceconcepts.net. Should give you an idea of what they look like.

Thanks bro. Those pics are about 2 1/2 years old. I used the G2 Caliper Paint stuff and it still looks great today. It goes on real thick to give it a smooth and shiny texture.

like this stuff-

sorry i don't have a good pic of them with the wheels on. they're pretty though. i like silver b/c it's subtle and goes w/ my rims. might be too stockish for your taste though.

the bottom pic is before i repainted them. the first time i painted them i did a crappy job so it wasn't that bright.

Now thats hot. Gunmetal, silver, or black would look best. Your car is clean, I think red would look ricey on your ride.

I'm all about the red...of course...but I don't know if it'd look right on your car.

That's what I think...probably going to go with Black.

ya black won't be noticeable at all... maybe if you get the eclipse stickers. if you want something subtle yet noticeable just go with a neutral color like silver or gunmetal.
