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.
