Show off your painted calipers
 
So Im starting this thread because I did not find one, and my factory calipers are starting to tarnish/corrode/rust especially on the back. On a brand new car (I've had mine for 6 months) this does not look good. Im looking for everyone who has their calipers painted to post a picture of their work, because I can not decide on a color. If possible try to capture a bit of the car's paint so I can see how it looks. Thanks and happy posting!

Red calipers add at least 20hp! :lol:

Seriously though, red will go well with most of the colors. I have a WRB on order and will probably paint mine red.

What product are you going use to paint the caliper??? VHT or G2, or something else.. I am debating if I should paint mine or not.

I'm planning to use G2. It seems to get the best reviews overall.

After many reviews, G2 does have more positive feedbacks. But VHT plus heat in the oven seems last longer on the caliper paint.

I think the STI gold brembos would look good

I would like to see gold calipers on a WRB BRZ if anyone has them. Not necessarily brembo oem would be good.
