def_jamz112 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I've been wanting to paint my brake calipers for a while now. For standard brakes I've always liked red calipers with the white nissan text across the front of them but considering my car is red, I was thinking that Yellow or Gold might look good or maybe even Black. Does any one have decent pictures or care to share some thoughts on the colour combinations stated above? Even other colours not mentioned for that matter, I would love to see/hear them. Cheers.

xxxxx Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 If it were me, I'd jus leave em as is if not I'd spray the calipers satin black and the lettering grey Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/433749-red-r34-gtt-opinions-on-brake-caliper-colour/#findComment-7073545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksky34 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 personal opinion here: if you go gold, then it'll look like brembos (which they aren't) so to some people you'll look like a fake. yellow, is very eye catching, but to me yellow + red doesn't work. I'd go a darker colour. Safe would be satin black, but that may be a bit boring for you. Other suggestions would be a dark bronze, or a gunmetal grey, if you wanted to go really out of the box, go and find some midnight purple!

james32gtr Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Well I think seeing as most people do white cars with red calipers maybe go the opposite, red car with white calipers and do the Nissan letters black!

adey88 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Red all the way mate, will suit the car. I initially did mine black and regretted it, looks standard really. Get a can (or 2) of the VHT caliper paint as it gives a nice finish.

Got a Pulsar Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 My car being dark, I'm eventually going to go Black with Red writing. Would look good on a Red car.
