Calipers painted -> 2 vs 4 ??
Hey guys, i got some A grade stuff for my calipers G2 & i was thinking of only painting the back two.
Because the paint i got is red, i don't want them all standing out. Was thinking paint the back 2 red and front 2 black/silver. I wanted the calipers to pop but not all of them, looks too queer. thoughts

I currently have the setup with my front ones painted red and the rear are still stock as I had the front off when doing the brake swap so painted them but never got around to doing the rears. I must get it done sometime soon.

if you don't want them to stick right out but look clean
black - want them - too shine a bit but not stick out say hello as long as your wheels and car cloiur are different - alluminum/silver. want it to show - Bright colour or anything not nominal. ontop of that remove the rust- paint the unused disc parts - something. normally if you want clean when you have open wheels. I do discs - black on the unused surface and silver caliper or reverse for bright wheel / car. this only applys on basic brakes. once you get big brakes - plain - colour - if it's bigger then stock - Even the cops comment on how big they are. |
