I'm planning on painting my calipers and was trying to get some feedback as to which color would look good....

RED

BLACK

SILVER

????????????

 

black or silver.

 

What color wheels do you plan on getting in the future?

 

Probably chrome... but it won't be for a little while..

 

Then I'd say black

 

Anything but red.

 

I say silver but it may be cuz I painted mine that color too and they look freakin awsome!

 

silver or a gloss black

 

I bet they look sweet with the Silver Mustang... Any close up pics?

 

Those rims are Hypercoated 18x9s just so ya got an idea of what color they are behind.

 

Those tires/rims are sweet. Silver Calipers definitely add to the effect.

 

i said red, its a classic.

 

What ever color you decide just dont forget to paint the heat sheild too it really helps the cool factor lol!

 

I know...right.....

 

I voted for this as well.


I would also look into possibly getting them powder coated instead of painted as well. Sure, the paint might last and look great, but with powder coat you know it will. Well worth it imo.

 

red powder coat FTW

 

I like the black cobra's more. less 'look at me' factor. lol

 

Yeah... Red is classic... I just don't want to stick out too much... Didn't know which would blend better with my color car...

 

wow i liked the silver pics. sorry about the hijack but i was wondering this same question will the silver be good on my black mustang.

 

yer talkin to me about"look at me" factor? haha...i hate look at me ****...look at my damn rental car. lol.

I might have gotten black ones if AM had them available in a Cobra brake upgrade kit. I saved $$ by getting the kit. oh, and red looks cool.

 

But they do

Did those not exist when you got yours? They should be older than the 10th anni's

 

RED !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

OK, so I FINALLY came around to getting my caliper paint and as long as the weather stays nice for the weekend, I will be painting them up. Now that I got my Mustang back after that hit & run, I have to start getting back on track with all this. Oh and I decided to go with RED. I'll post pics when I'm done.

 

I just painted mine red, they are actually not that noticeable. They are a darker red, matches my tail lights. I only did the front 2 red, and the back 2 are black.

4 coats at least. And get a small sponge brush, dont use the one that comes in the kit, it sucks.

 

Good to know, thanks. Do you have any pictures of how they came out?

 

I'll try to take some in a little bit.

 

Lol you're telling me, my calipers have a lot of bristles from that brush underneath the paint..hehe.. going to clean them up and repaint them in a couple of weeks, I missed a couple of spots.
