#76909, "Post a picture of your painted calipers"

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.

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.
