I was thinking red or blue?

What do you guys think?

How would you go about doing it>

 

i got a IP 04 6mt, and im gonna go with red calipers. Do you guys know if painting calipers messes with the warranty?

 

damn j12 your car looks HOT . if i were you id leave the calipers unpainted or keep it subtle with black. i painted mine red before (a high quality job, and clearcoated), but at times it just looks too cheap esp. in the sun or when theyre even slightly dirty. mine are currently gloss black with white lettering, imo the best looking. heres a vague pic but you get the idea:



byungsheen: painting shouldn't conflict with warranties unless it directly affects that function of the car. they have to be able to prove it as well. avoid getting any paint on the pads or rotor and you should be fine. overspray sometimes causes a tiny bit of squeaking but it will disappear after a while.

 

red

 

why not get it powdercoated? much more durable

check out these pics from a guy out in Georgia

iirc, price is somewhere in the neighborhood of $100-$150

Buy some calliper paint, and make them red. Blue would look really odd since theres no blue on your car. Here, at least you have red taillights Trust me... red callipers on a white car looks HOT!

 

neither........i would go silver or black......

 

Is that an AT? If so, I would leave it stock unless its starting to rust or something.
the stock rotor on the AT's are small and you don't want to point out that they
are from painting the calipers.

Ive seen a lot of honda guys painting their calipers red on their tegs, etc... the
rear rotors on those cars have a gap of about 4inches to the rim of their 17's.
ouch! looks like someone punched a guy in the mouth and his teeth fell out.

 

red, black, or OEM gold. anything else will be a big negative.

 

I don't really think OEM calipers look when painted, but if you are going to do it, I would recommend smoothing the bumpy finish of the calipers and after painting them, use a clearcoat to keep them shiny. Otherwise, the bumpy finish bad and w/out clearcoat, it will be dull and covered in black dust.

yeh, it reminded me of an old fire hydrant.

 

red is my vote... cant go wrong with it.. with your color scheme i think it would go perfect!

 

Negative on the blue. Red is great on IP.

 

instead of painting them, just purchase new calipers! maybe some Rotora's (various color's), or Endless (the blue is awesome, plus it's real!).

 

I would paint them anodized blue... I did that color on my IP and it spanks... I think everyone else has red... it's all about being different...

I'll post some pics when I get the chance...
