Post Your Custom Painted Brake Calipers!
I have been looking all over for a thread with people's custom brake calipers and colors but I can not find one so I thought one should be made! I am looking at getting black rims for my 1966 mustang that is Wimbledon white with a light blue pony interior so I am thinking a dark blue or classic red for my brake calipers - if anyone has any suggestions or pictures of their set ups I would be very interested!

How did you do the Chevelle on the calipers? That looks awesome! I'd love to do the same thing but in blue.

I had decals cut out is the size and curve I wanted. Paint the calipers apply decal and clear over them. Did this on my wifes volvo and it has worked for the last 4 years.

They both look great I am debating between blue and red and both calipers look so nice it will be hard to pick! Did you power coat the calipers or is there a specific brand of caliper pain your would recommend - that script looks top notch!

Since my car will have Lamborghini door hinges, I guess I need to have these calipers to match. Those ARE cool! Originally Posted by Ripper

I know these are not painted but its what im am going to run. They are the Zo6 calipers, fully polished. I think it looks really nice and will look great on the car with dark colored wheels.

Wow those Lamborghini calipers are pretty unique, I wonder how they look in person. Those calipers do look great Motorcitydak! Do you clear coat them to protect the finish or just polish them up and put them on? I wish I could do that to mine but mine are not even

I was going to have the PONTIAC-text milled into the front of them like garickman did with the POLICE earlier in the thread, but I couldn't afford it unfortunately...

Here are my fronts for my Firebird. They're pontiac engine blue. Thought that was a nice "flirt" with the original era.
