Painted Calipers? Let's discuss ...

[Gerta318is]

Ok ... so I have decided to tackle the rebuild of some stock calipers and wanted opinions on colors ...

I've got a diamondschwartz car and silver weaves so I was toying with the idea of yellow.  Admittedly I haven't a clue what looks good so looking for some constructive input (i.e. don't tell me hyper-pink, ok.).   Bonus points if you have painted non bbk pics to share.

Thanks,

I would go for red

Thanks Carlos ... You have red calipers on yours?

I voted black.  I'd do the rotor hat as well, while I was at it.

I'm gonna do black when I order my reman'ed calipers, yellow would be cool too, if you did it right and could have a powder coat type look to them.

Yer I have red on mine wanted to be a bit different

I'd do Black or Red, you'd be surprised how hard it is to keep yellow calipers looking clean. Red and black are much easier to maintain a 'clean' look. I've had really good luck with G2 caliper paint over the years.

Thanks Dean!  I'm leaning toward black now as well.  Recently I saw a fairly riced out E34 535i  ... big yellow calipers behind silver wheels kinda made me throw up in my mouth a little ... car was alpine and maybe it was a reflection from the underglow that made them look poor.
