caliper paint

[colonel6632]

so when i get my new calipers, i'm thinking about painting them so they stick out a little.

my questions are.

what color matches my green car the best (the only colors i can get around here are red and yellow, maybe black.

and do i use primer first like

then the paint like

my engine bay has red accessories, and i'm going to keep going with the red. but my interior is leaning towards blue. so i'm not sure what to get. green doesn't match well with anything

i'd do like a matte black.. or Idk I think a pearl white could look kinda cool

I have the same problem with the gold on my car. I went black with clear and the pads i bought where red already (didn't know about that until i got them ) and i'm pleased with the results. I think black would be the best on that car.

you can go yellow if you like the packers... I would say to go with the black on the caliper and silver on the bracket...

I would just match the body color

x2. You know autozones can order items for you that they offer at other stores right?

U can also just buy online :lol:

well, is caliper paint anything special? or can i use any old spray paint and clear. i'll use high temp primer still

[Chris2000]

You want to get the correct kind of paint because your brakes get hot so just like painting something under the hood you need something able to withstand high temps.

Dupli Color Engine Enamel works well because it can handle heats of like 500+F
