Quick question - one of my friends painted his calipers on his 07 Vette red and it looks pretty sharp. I have the Blue Slate G35 and have been debating painting the calipers as well. I'm not sure how well red would go (opinions?). I was thinking of a yellow color for them - I think that may go a little better. Has anyone else done this to a blue slate G35? I'm sure someone has done something similar so I'm just looking to see what the opinion would be. I know I could repaint them if I don't like it but I'd rather get it right in the first shot. I'd rather be driving it instead of taking the wheels and calipers off and painting!

Thanks in advance!

 

IMO it would look a little cheap or chintzy on a G Sedan - I don't think it would fit with the rest of the car

 

In my opinion, too much trouble to accent stock brakes. Get G37S brakes for a low cost alternative.

 

I painted mine red, and they look really nice and accent the black wheels and car very well, get many compliments on it, looking at terrys avatar id suggest you do them red as well IMHO(They wont look as good as his, as he has BBK but you get the idea ).
G/L

 

i have a Garnet Ember sedan, and i plan on getting the g37 wheels at some point and then the G37 BBK painted red...or at least thats my plan right now..

 

ehhh,
painting stock brake calipers is kinda on the ricer side.
sorry dude but they dont look that bad stock do they???

 

I would recommend painting black or gloss black. It definitely looks a lot better then unpainted but you don't cheapen the look of the car either. Win-win.

 

I wouldn't paint stock calipers at all, it looks really cheap and honestly stock calipers aren't something you'd want to show off anyway by drawing attention IMO. As everyone else has said, pick up a BBK either aftermarket or from another G then you can powdercoat them any color you want.

 

Try it. Post some pics. We'll certainly let you kow then. I wouldn't, but that's just me. Waiting for my StopTech BBK!

 

+1!

 

Only silver or Black. I'm thinking about painting mine black once my new 20" iForged wheels roll in. I painted my front brake calipers silver and added an infiniti logo in black. It looks decent. Black with silver logo would look better.

 

I wouldn't paint them at all.. because they don't have the type of casing that should be painted... but if you were to paint, I'd suggest going with either the silver that they are now, or wheel matched color... anything contrasting would look bad, you would be highlighting something that's not meant to be highlighted.

The difference with Brem's or other brakes is that they have casings that are meant to stand out, smooth and covered for visual appeal through wide open wheels. Take a look at our rear breaks and they have metal clips protruding and are not very nice looking at all... functionally they are fantastic... but they are nothing like the Coupe-Sport brakes.

 

By low cost do you mean $2500 ? What can you get them for?

 

I think i saw a post from riverside infiniti stating you can get the front only G37 brakes for 1400.

 

Get the G37 Brakes and color match the calipers to your car and re-print or sticker INFINITI in black on it
