I have a 2012 Black on Black Mustang and need help choosing a color to paint the calipers. I was thinking red.. But then again everyone has red! So anyone got any suggestions?, Maybe pictures of white, green or maybe even yellow. Something out of the norm, Please!!
I've considered various colors so far, But having a hard time visualizing how it will acutally play out. Maybe some photoshoped pictures? Just need something a little more concrete to base my decisions on.
white ='s first time you hit the brakes...they will be covered in brake dust so if your OCD like I am...stick with "the norm" how about POLISHING them thats outside the norm

If you powder coat them instead of painting them they will wipe off easily and never need to be repainted. I deal with cars daily and see what painted calipers look like after 6months to a year.
There will always be exceptions I am sure. I see a dozen sets of painted calipers a week if not more. Almost all are all cracked, chipped, faded, etc. Next time you see painted calipers on a vehicle that gets driven a lot stop and really look at them.
7000 miles on it since I've painted it. Rain, snow, mud, even have to go through floods when it rains at work. You name it, my cars been in it. It's a DD so it gets driven every day none stop. No chips, cracks or faded at all. I used G2 paint as posted above, you get what you pay for. Those you've seen were probably cheap paint jobs.
Edit: And my dad painted his calipers on his subaru silver about 70,000 miles ago and that car sees really bad weather. Still no problems with his either.
Yup, i love red!! hahah. So right now its between red,yellow, or white. Haven't really seen yellow or white with black rims, so not sure how it will look
Yeah same here. Either red or black. Black just almost seems like a waste of time and red would be bright. I'll prob end up doing red.
