Hey everyone I need your help on what color to paint my calipers? I have a black 03 cobra, I was thinking either red, blue, or black? But any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks.
What color to paint my calipers?
- Thread starter XMAN
- Start date
i think black would go unnoticed maybe. It would be good and subtle though.
blue might be cool
i think red would look better though.
my neighbor has florescent green calipers on his black GT (late 90's model). I see him out there occaisionally with the wheels off cleaning them up
or you could try for the mystic

Red always looks good. I'm thinking of painting mine a bright metallic silver and then paint the letters black.
What color is your car? Red typically looks the best, but yellow is good too, depending on your color. Yellow in a sonic or a torch would look good.
Eastwood company has caliper paint in black, yellow, red, blue. I was thinking about the yellow paint, but not sure if the yellow they have will look good. Seems kind of dark.

Red gives a touch of color to a black car, without looking ricy. Many aftermarket brakes on cars have red calipers so the color looks more purposefull then like a "mod". My bro has a black bullitt and they look great red.
here is a pic in red. I know some have painted them with "caliper" paint, but I went the labor intensive way and removed, blasted, primered, and painted with glasurit. Also, when I worked at Porsche/Ferrairi, we would remove stock Brembos and paint them with Imron after a cleaning and scuff.
This paint is over 2 years old and is still perfect, although dirty.
Sorry bout the huge pic.

Red, red, red.... Red's the sharpest caliper color. And don't forget to do the caliper holders too.

I would paint them Red
paint the holders black to contrast with the red. Both red looks cheezey...IMO.
