Painting Brake Calipers

**Flobeast385** · 02-18-2006, 11:28 AM

I plan on ordering some caliper decals and spend all next weekend painting my calipers, but i can not decide what color i should paint them or what color of decals i should order. I have a 99 TA Pewter and havent come up with many color combinations that would look good. If anyone has any ideas or pictures it would really help me out.

I have a pewter SS and I originally painted my calipers Dark Blue and liked it well enough but I wound up painting the Red and I like it more.

I know the wheels I have suck, so no negative comments please

The blue looked good! and different. as far as the "I know my wheels suck.." comment, I don't think they look bad at all. I have seen a lot worse.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm trying to decide on some new wheels. I'm going to post a poll to get some help deciding which to get.

My car is white and I went all red supension and calipers with White decals on the calipers. Compliments each other well. Red would look good with pewter. Go for it.
