Going to paint brake calipers.

Going to paint the calipers on my G. I think i'm just going to paint it a simple black and I'd like to put either the infiniti or nismo decal stickers on the calipers too in white.

Dont put decals on them. The calipers are way too small to be rocking those.

Yea I've seen people do it. It just looks tacky. Whats the point of drawing attention to a stock 1 or 2 piston front caliper? Unnecessary to put "INFINITI" or "G35" all over your car.

Not a big fan of painted calipers, but if you insist, black or silver are they way to go.

Decals FTL, especially Nismo decals. A Nismo decal would make it look like you're trying to pull the stock brakes off as Nismo brakes. Again, decals FTL.

Unless you have a BBK don't bring attention to your calipers. You have very cool wheels so paint the calipers black w/out stickers and let the focus be on your wheels!

Nismo stickers are still tacky, even if you have Nismo accessories.
