Suggestions on Brake Caliper Color?
 
2 Attachment(s)
I need some advice on what color to paint my brake calipers. They are currently blue but not dark enough. I was thinking black or getting the body shop to mix up some Sonic blue. I would like black but I was thinking they would hide behind my wheel and not be very noticeable with the chrome AR Rebels. Any Suggestions?

"Layla" had a pretty good week though. She is currently rockin' the Mach 1 Delete grill and we also put new rolled exhaust tips on. (A hanger broke loose and put a hole in one of my pipes so I decided just to get new tips). And last night I darkened the tail lights with VHT Nite Shade & Clear Coat and the outcome turned out awesome. (I'll post pics soon...) I still need to put some Polish Compound on and buff them with wax so they shine even more.

I don't know what the hell happened to my signature...

I think they'd pop out a little more if they were Sonic Blue and they'd blend in more if they were black. Either way, you can't go wrong. I say go for the Sonic Blue. :)

The mods will probably move this to 'Show, Shine and Tunes'.

Blue would be ok...but I think red would look good as well.. just depends if you wanna keep your blue theme.

King 02-26-2009 12:46 PM

I don't tink dark blue would make much of a difference with what you've got now. Might as well just go to black.

Yeah dark blue won't be too noticeable. If you really want them to stand out, go with yellow. Black would probably be the best choice though. You don't want too much blue going on or else it just blends in with the paint of the car and people might not notice it as much.

Thanks for the advice everyone! Decisions, Decisions.

Sorry for posting this in the wrong spot. Lol. That's the newbie in me. :)

I say classic red.

PColav6 02-26-2009 02:41 PM

Polish them :D

CutlersKilla006 02-26-2009 03:31 PM

Go with ORANGE. Now that would be sexy.

Mr. Zip 02-26-2009 05:36 PM

Pcola has an idea! Like a polished finish would be badass haha

That would just blend in with her wheels though.

nah. the caliper is still while the wheels move. It would add depth IMO.. I think it would look sweet! screw my idea, go polished.

Mix up some sonic blue.

Redrum 02-27-2009 05:09 AM

go with black

TUFF 4.6 02-27-2009 06:35 AM

I vote silver

mustangvsix 02-27-2009 07:13 AM

I say black, and pick up some of those silver lettered stickers for brakes that say mustang or are just a running pony.

spike_africa 02-27-2009 07:52 AM

I would rather the caliper blend in so I say Black.

Dodobird223 02-27-2009 08:23 AM

where can you find those stickers... I want to paint mine red and put "mustang" or "GT" or the pony in white.

knife13 03-02-2009 09:56 AM

I'll look into this! I am leaning toward black or polished I think... Thanks!:D

King 03-03-2009 02:06 PM

-1 for polished...they'll blend in too much with your rims.

lazyhomie1908 03-03-2009 08:10 PM

+1 for polished IMO I think it would look badass.

King 03-03-2009 08:21 PM

I think they'd look good on a black wheel with a chrome lip, but I really feel strongly that it will blend in too much against the current rims.

You are probably right on that since my wheels are chrome (I liked the idea though!)

I think I'm leaning toward black. I thought they would hide behind my wheel but maybe they would be subtle enough but still look good. IDK! Lol. :confused:

mustangrn 03-04-2009 04:24 PM

Yellow would really pop!!

the gillz 03-12-2009 12:55 PM
