Default Painted Calipers

I was searching images of painted brake calipers. I'm trying to decide on White, Silver, or Blue for my truck (see avatar).

when I ran across this picture...



MWAHAHAHA HAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHA AHAHHHAAHA...whew, I almost split right there. What an idget!!! that's about to be a gummy mess and won't stop worth ****.

I hope to god, they took this picture and then had them turned.


Anywho, show me your calipers, and help me decide on a color.

Especially if you painted them WHITE.

I used Dupli-Color Brake Caliper Paint Kit - Red
Comes with everything and is easy to use.

I painted mine red.

Used high heat engine paint and high heat clear.

Still look perfect.


Downside to caliper paint is its really runny, and not that easy to use if you dont know how to spray bomb.

You can barely see my calipers though since my rims are pretty wide spoked. I'm gonna paint em white someday. Probably next summer though.
