Alright, I asked this question in another thread but only got one response. What color should I paint the calipers? Someone suggested black... I was thinking either that or the color of my car... Let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance...  |

i don't know how easy it will be to get that maroon/dark red shade with caliper paint. if worse comes to worse, you could always go with plain red and go for the fake-brembo calipers look.

I think black, it would match the windows and headlight covers now.

I have been looking for maroon/ruby red, and have not been able to...
Please post where, if you find it.

I painted my capliers red and the brackets black. I only did the back so far but that will look good for the front
