What color calipers???

[RelliMS3]

I've decided to paint my brake calipers, but I need to decide on a color. I've got a black mica so I'm thinking red, black, white, or gold. Red is used so much i'm just looking for alternatives, with black i'm not sure if it'll stand out, white i dont even know if it will look good on the car and might get dirty, but i dont mind cleaning often, and gold would be nice to do something different. Also i might put a mazdaspeed on the calipers in a contrasting colors. HELP!! What do you guys think? Any pictures to convince me??

Oh and I should probably mention that i'll probably be switching to black powdercoated wheels in the near future.

Purple goes pretty good with black.

My suggestion would be yellow or blue.

Red!

I think anything other than red looks odd... is there some info out there on how to paint the mazda logo onto your calipers? Possibly something to cut out and use as a spray template?

Some people were painting the whole thing the color they wanted their lettering then placing on decals, painting the whole caliper the base color then removing the decals.

just an idea....

how about the the same gold that the Brembos came in
on the 350Z?

should be a nice contrast with the black IMO.

dude i got a red ms3 i wanted that brembo gold look as in the 350 but they dont make that color paint the closest u can come to is gold paint but its engine enamel wont matter bcuz its also resistant for 500 degrees like caliper paint but then again the gold is booty not a nice one n i have asked around ........i got em done black n im gettin the mazda emblem stcker on it .

Yeah I did some searching for that brembo-gold, but it seems like the only companies are duplicolor and G2, neither of their golds are close to what i'm looking for. I'm pretty sure i'm going with red.

I did mine black last summer when I got the car but am going to redo it to have it stand out more in the spring. When the snow dies down later today I'll take some better pics.

I personslly like red for calipers however if my car was red I'd prolly go either a brembro gold or just black with the white or silver logo.

pink

 

[clos561]

white

I'd say go with red. Also, our stock rim spokes are so wide and numerous, they really hide the calipers well. I switched to 17in rims for winter with thinner spokes, and the calipers really stand out now.

i like red my second choice would be gold and then finaly mabe a crome plated

 

[RelliMS3]

i'm gonna go with red, maybe ordering the G2 kit today

 

[erick pina]

on black any color will look good.

 

[tubebrner]

Red on black is sexy.

Has anyone with a cosmic blue painted their calipers? I want to do mine as well but I don't know what color would look good with cosmic blue.

the ms3 brake calipers don't have a embossed mazda logo or anything?
