[Sap Z]

i know i've spoken about this a lot but i'm really excited about painting my calipers this weekend

so i bought the kit. I just wanna make sure - Will RED CALIPERS look good on a DWP?

thanks





oh n this is my desktop -notice how i keep the browser window to the left just so i can minimize it it someone shows up from behind at work

[rollaevo99]

definitely red will stands out on your DWP good choice!!
I bought the same thing but mine is yellow

and get back to work!! LOL

[Sap Z]

haha i'm bored dude ^^

i'm just scared that red mite be a lil too 'loud'...ya know?

[briantek]

I think red will look very nice on DWP, have you thought about yellow? just my two cents.

I also try to keep a low profile at work, in fact I hope no one is behind me as i'm typing right now....

i think the red will look very sick with the dwp. i was thinking of doing mine. maybe gold'ish orange'ish. we'll see.....
post some pix when you get this done.

I would say red would look good on dwp myself. I used the same product & color and it turned out great! def post pics when complete

[JMSinMaryland]

I would say either white or black. Keep a color theme. Jon.

red! you saw my ride, it looks real good together. glad to see ur going thru with doing it, its really easy.Don't do any other color, it'll look tacky, imo.

red looked awesome on my dwp, but you need to upkeep the painting process. mind you this pic was taken on a bad day with overcast and when car was dirty! (the paint's on teh calipers is like 5 years old now too).

Red should be for drawing attention to your brakes i.e. Brembo, Stoptech, etc. Why call attention to your OEM brakes? I have black myself because it doesn't stand out. If you want to stand out a bit maybe white? Jon.

^^^ I agree wholeheartedly; that's why I did mine black as well.

ummm..well honestly i looked around and the only colors i found in this kit were - Red, Black , Yellow

Yellow- hell no
Black - umm..i'd rather not put in all that work if its not at all noticable.

Red - i think looks good. i would have to do many coats - maybe 6-7 to make it bright and strong.

i wanted something like gunmetal or golden or like..creamish(DWP)!
i really do like Alisha's set up ^^^

so..i see support for red here!

[SleeperSolara]

Yeah i have red on my calipers.

[siennasc98]

Sap, if you wanted a non-standard color (like your gold or cream), get high temp spray paint. I just bought DupliColor Engine Enamel (high temperatures) and painted my calipers with that. You'd need a separate break cleaner, and high temp clear coat as well. Good thing about that is, you always have it around for touch up when you need it (I DOUBT you'll finish even half a spray can for all four calipers).
