IMHO - why bring more attention to the tiny stock calipers? not much to show off there...may bring "ooh's" and "ahh's" from unfamiliar eye, but will be laughed upon my most car enthusiasts.Originally Posted by shortylow50
how do you think blue calipers would look on a black sedan?

but i agree with gilley on this one. painted calipers w/ infiniti lettering on them looks...cheesy. it'd be different if you had larger calipers. then you might be able to pull off the infiniti lettering. if i'm not mistaken, the new g37 will come with a 4/2 bbk and will have infiniti on the calipers.

i'd do it, yeah it looks a little ricey on regular calipers but if you've got big calipers and you dont want them lookin like everyone elses then by all means go for it

if you've got "big" calipers from a BBK, then they should already be colored, lol. and i'd powder coat a BBK...i wouldn't paint it.Originally Posted by ScubaSteve312

I did mine myself with some high-temperature engine paint to match the ProSlot rotors. I like the look even if the calipers are stock.

turk, when it comes down to it, you should do what you want. these are all just suggestions, you have to drive your car everyday. so do what you want that will make you happy. its really easy for someone sittin on a bunch of cash to tell you what you do, but everyone is in a different situation. if you think its gonna look good, than I say, go for it!Originally Posted by turkish83

2.)how long has the paint been on?
3.)is it chipping/wearing off?
