I am upgrading my brakes next Saturday and was wondering what everyone thinks about my truck having red calipers. I don’t want to paint them and they look bad. If anyone out there has some picture please post them.


Thanks,
Brandon

 

I have gone back to black when I replaced the calipers. But here is when they were red....





Hope this helps...

 

I could see red on my truck, but on yours I'd go silver

 

I plan on painting mine when I replace my rotors. As for the color? Not sure yet? I was thinking red.

 

I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to do red myself.

 

I`ll be doing brakes all around in about a month and I plan on doing the red.

 

I can take pictures if anyone wants. I just painted mine black when installed a set of Wagner Thermo's (pads and rotors) up front last weekend.

 

i like the way mine tuened out.

 

I painted mine black when I installed the Powerslots and have no regrets.

 

 

Here you go, a painted Caliber.

 

I have high-temp metallic (sliver) with black rotors, but next time I do brakes i'm gonna go with all black. Red (powercoat) is nice if you are into a nice sporty brakes

 

I love your tire set up...




oh...Why would you paint your calipers red when nothing on the truck is red? I would rather blend it in with silver or black... but not red... it sticks out wayyy to much... just my .02

 

Thats what i was thinking the they will stand out like a sore thumb. But i still think im going to paint them red and if i dont like them ill just paint them silver.

 

Seems like the flavor of the month/year is red. Not a big fan of going with that color unless it was on a red truck or they were Brembos. Red on stockers not so much. Me personally I like painted calipers and I think its cleaner then the grayish stock ones but I went with black on my Lightning (was black) and black on my Silver FX4. They are not even noticable which is what I was looking for. Good luck!
