I have a 05 Diamond Graphite Coupe and I want to paint the brakes. I'm trying to decide between yellow, north carolina blue, and red. Anybody have any tips or suggestions on what colors you think would look best and also point me to a place to buy the paint.

 

Red. Red is the best color for brake calipers.

 

This is what mine looks like on my 04 coupe

 

I wanted it to be very OEM looking.
I know that some companies do this.
The ACURA RL (new one) has lack calipers with silver ACURA on it.
Looked pretty nice.

 

you need to use high heat paint like vht, or duplicorlor. i suggest powder coat its better, and looks better, my .2

 

Red looks awesome.. Some don't like it but many do. Search for "Painting Brake Calipers" and you'll see a DG Coupe with calipers painted red. It's Hot!

Good Luck

 

heres mine painted it with some paint leftover from an autobody shop the guy gave me for free. Bought a very small painters bursh and sat there for one hour and painted the calipers without taking off the wheels. very easy

 

do anything but red.........be original!!!!!

 

but red looks so nice on the dg coupe!

i painted mine as well on the car.........just make sure you get them nice and clean or the high temp paint won't stick for long........

 

What companies?

 

I want it to be eye catchy

 

Paint them Ultra Pink and glue on Rhinestones for that "Eye Catchy," look. If that doesn't catch some attention and make you a few new friends, nothing will.

 

Please don't paint the OEM brakes yellow, blue or red. It really makes our car look cheap. We don't drive Civics people. The OEM brakes looks fine as it is. If you want big red brakes get BBK.

oh I think painting them black is OK though...
