Since you have a black car I'd go with black. Use high heat paint and make sure they're very clean before painting. You might even paint the calipers where the rust forms above the lugs. Use lots of paper and blue tape and paint inside a garage, over spray can be a PIA!

OCG killin' another thread whorin' out his car!

To what Gary said, I masked off my whole fender with paper when I did mine.

 

fixed

 

what????? I hope you're kidding - I don't need a color of caliper thread to post pics of my car ~

I was showing the guy that black OEM calipers makes sense because they are hidden and less visible. BBK makes sense to paint. It was pics of the wheels not even the car

 

And damn fine wheels they are lol

Of course I was kidding.

 

I painted mine silver. I did the rotor as well. They were originally silver anyway, so i wanted them to look clean and new. I think it did the job perfectly. It even matches the wheel color.

I prefer the clean, subtle look.

 

rotors look very nice. I like that a lot. how did u paint them silver? just same paint as calipers? and did u get rid of that dirt protector around ur roter? looks like theres none there

 

It's Duplicolor caliper paint. They sell spray and brush on versions. I used the spray. I took everything apart and painted the rotors off the car as well as the caliper pad bracket.

For the caliper, i hung it in the wheel well, wrapped garbage bags around everything and the car and sprayed it so i didn't have to disconnect the line. Then i let dry for an hour and reassembled.


Forgot to add, i prepped with brake cleaner, a wire wheel on a drill for thr rotors, and then some simple green and water to clean, and vinegar to etch prior to paint.

Still looks that good to this day, need to do the rears still.

I didn't remove the dust shield. It's behind the rotor.

 

Red is a good color to choose!
