Calipers

[weatherdan822]

I'm looking to paint my calipers, but I don't want anything too flashy. I have a black hatchback and I was thinking of either a glossy black or red for the calipers. Any opinions?

Black. It'll look good. And there are a MILLION people with red calipers. What color are your wheels?

 

[weatherdan822]

Im still rocking the stock silver wheels. I'm gonna paint them maybe a little bit darker, like a light graphite come spring. But yea, I was kinda leaning away from the red cuz yea everyone does it, plus it'd be a little too flashy. I wanna keep things relatively moderate

I have a black hatchback also with stock rims. I know red calipers are played out but it looks really good. heres a few picks

We all know they look good. Hahah. It's just that one fact: they're played out by EVERYONE in the world.
Glossy black calipers paired with a black body would look really good.

Brembo started with red specially for Porsche and ferrari thats why played out by everyone in the world..........for me I'll go with black on red caliper....if u want to look sportier....

I think I'm really starting to like the black with red caliper design. Black on the outer mounts, and red on the caliper itself. Then I'll have the best of both worlds without being too crazy

I'm thinking about body color calipers, Sunlight Silver in my case. Red is one of my least favorite colors, so I've always looked for something different.

 

[weatherdan822]

actually thats not a bad idea. I have a small container of exact-match color touch up paint (black mica) and I may try that for a caliper color

Alright, I've decided...I'm going with Black calipers with a nice gloss finish and Mazda stickers on them. Though...does anyone know where I can get Mazda caliper stickers that are in the correct "Mazda font"?
