Second EVERYONE on this site complains of brake dust from stock brakes. Well mine I think spits out little to no break dust. My calipers are blue and after 3 weeks of driving there still really blue yes a little bit of dust but I would figure there should be a LITTLE bit of dust after 3 weeks.
So paint the calipers black and the rims gunmetal, or leave the rims black with the lip gunmetal, to paint the emblems or anything chrome you sand it down with 600 grit sandpaper, spray duplicolor black primer, sand it again then spray it with duplicolor gunmetal paint or charcoal gray, a couple coats then clear coat, for the calipers yea I did it with the brush, but if you mask everything off you can do it with caliper spray paint

Reasoned why I mentioned going all black with the rims is because right now, with the thick time attack or the entire lip being painted (can't tell) it makes the wheels look smaller.

I sport stickers.

Two on my rear license plate. One on the windshield so I can get on base.

I want to get a HUGE clear sticker for my front end to protect from rock chips and bugs.

I don't think any stickers look good IMHO. They are, to me, lesser versions of emblems. Everyone goes through the hassle of debaging 3D chrome emblems, to add cheap stickers? Just my opinion, but the clean look speaks volumes in my opinion.


I have a black sedan too and went silver with my brakes. The stock brakes aren't anything special to look at, so i didn't want to call attention to them too much. I just wanted them to look clean. So i painted the calipers and rotors silver. They look clean now all the time

calipers black
if your going to get stickers stick to black vinyl is the really best bet for your car unless you can pull white vinyl but its hard.
