Painting Calipers

Thinking about painting calipers on my car, which color do you guys think would look the best?

red is classy

same color as your car.

black to just keep it simple and to keep the attention on your rims

clean them or keep them black. red is for brembos. only paint them if you got a bbk.

I agree with the red is for Brembo's only, (which has been severely overdone) but I disagree that you should only paint calipers if you have a BBK. I think it adds a nice touch of style if done tastefully. Makes the wheels pop more some cases and will compliment the rest of the car. Thing is you need to choose one color and use that color only as your "accent color" throughout the car IMO. For instance I painted my calipers Gold, so I plan to use that as my accent color under the hood as well... (i.e. Gold valve cover, strut bar, etc.)

yes sir

not with him rockin 20's. it's gonna show that the brakes on that car are small.

I don't know if it will look weird with the 20s, I was thinking about going with black paint. I have seen people do decals on them as well that would say Mitsubishi. I don't know if that's a little to much or if it would look good on there. thanks for the feedback guys.

i think gold would look nice

Stock are high polish silver before they start discoloring.

If you have just stock calipers, don't paint them in bright color. Black or metallic black is nice.

^^And red may be okay for your tastes, but what guys tried to explain is not to paint them bright and flashy colors as they are only small stock and boring.

ok they are small lmao
