Poll: What color brake calipers?

[Maxpowers]

Just bought a set of drilled and slotted rotors all around for the car. I figured I might as well paint the calipers while I'm at it. I need some help deciding which color to go with.

Options are in the poll. Feel free to give more options than listed. I'm leaning towards the blue (see third picture) or black.
My car:
(It is raining out, and I'm using my phone)

Here's a picture of someone's car with blue calipers:

(If this is your car and you want it removed, just ask.)

I just did mine red. I didnt see a blue option in the caliper paint kits I looked at. I would have gone blue if I had it available to me. but the red still looks better than the crap it was before.

 

[Kornnut]

Stock, and why didn't you just buy stock replacement rotors?

 

[Maxpowers]

Do you guys think the red would look good against the blue car? I want to get blue but I think it will end up looking bad I'd if doesn't match.

blue

older pic, but close to your wheel style

red calipers on a blue car look like shat to me...just my .02

 

[RedDaemon]

none of the above!

sorry night i stole your pic

 

[Night Shifter]

I wish i had clear corners... yellow actually doesnt look that bad

I would only go blue if I had Cobra calipers.

I went back with silver on mine. Looks like stock, but better. It's been a couple of years and it looks like I just painted them. They don't absorb dirt anymore.

Red FTW. (any of the other colors would look great also but I'm partial)

 

[Maxpowers]

Didn't even think about painting them yellow. Doesn't look half bad. I think it would really set my car apart from most others.

Silver just looks brand new to me. It gives the wheel a clean look. Like it was just bought and put together. Probably the same thing with black. I guess those two are ruled out.

So red, blue or possibly yellow. I still have a week or so to think about it. Any other pictures or opinions would be welcomed.

Any black would suffice...

 

[RedDaemon]

orange works too btw

 

[screamin gt]

After all the pics, I like yellow for the blue car. It does work.

I just realized when I did mine I painted the bar that goes around the bottom of the fronts as well. I see everyone here has left them black. Is that tacky? should I change it back? I just put the wheels back on tonight I didn't really look but I think it looked ok. Uhg I could go right over that with some black POR-15 I already have.

 

[RedDaemon]

personal preference. id leave it black personally

 

[Maxpowers]

I think most caliper kits you buy painted leave the bracket black. That's what I plan to do with mine.

Ruled out red. Way over done and doesn't go well with the blue IMO. Trying to decide between blue and yellow. Ugh.

 

[RedDaemon]

yellow. be different. you got enough blue on your car.

I agree. I like red on lots of colors cars, but blue isn't one of them. The caliper being the same color as the car doesn't look all that good to me either, so that rules out blue. I think yellow is going to be way too bright and ricer-ish.

I say solid black.

I think yellow is going to be way too bright and ricer-ish.

i would say that depends on the shade of yellow

If we are talking Cobra calipers, then red. I am not a big fan of the blue.

If we are talking OEM calipers then black. It just does not look good to call attention to them ... kinda like when ricers paint little baby-size Honda calipers red or yellow. It is not as bad as that, but heading that direction.

Just my opinion ...

blue

Thanks for that picture. I'm getting ready to mount those exact wheels and looking at your picture, I'm going to put on a set of black wheel lugs...

...and repaint my calipers...

I voted for Blue.
