Painted my calipers
omfg so to paint your calipers you HAVE TO TAKE THE ******* CALIPERS OFF!
i was thinking of painting mine black with the touch up paint i got when i picked up my car but then again it seems i know nothing about what i would be doing. **** i've never even taken off my wheel. i would imagine i would have to take off my wheel then to paint them, i was looking at it today and prolly would be hard if i didnt. what if i just took off my wheel-per wheel as i painted each caliper will that work? <- noob.
and btw - yes yours do look awsome.

Hi JohnyNFullEffect-
Nice work!
Really looks nice on your black car -
Thanks for the pictures.
I'll be doing mine soon - I have a couple of other projects going right now, but I have to do that to my balt.
best regards -

Ok I need to know what color you guys think I should paint the ones on my yellow ss/sc...I have the black exel e-22 wheels and the slotted rotors from turbo tech, I think yellow will look bad, but I think red would be too flashy as well...thinking maybe just black to hide them, but can't come up with anything...ahhh, and by the way those calipers you did look awesome!

People miss it for pretty good reasons. I didn't paint mine because honestly I think it looks odd. If you look at any car that comes with painted calipers from the factory....that piece is not painted. For example: GTO's, SRT-4's.....and so on

I am with you - I like the caliper mount bracket to remain metallic, and the caliper to be painted or powrder coated.
It is a personal preference thing - I think they look better with the zinc-coated bracket and the contrasting red caliper - but whatever the person who owns the car thinks is the way it should be done on that particular car.

Good for you....it doesn't look bad...it's all personal preference
