Brake caliper colour

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.

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!

I did mine red and put the letters as white my cars black so the red on black looks good but not sure if you want red on red ? But here is what mine looks like any way {style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1382461958.317189.jpg

Nice job. Red calipers are nice I have to say.

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
