Should I do it? Now that I have aftermarket rims they are visible and I'm just wondering if I should paint them and if so what color. My car is all black exterior and red and black interior. Should I do them all red or maybe the calipers red and the drums black? Should I even do them at all?

 

I know VatoZone sells specific "caliper paint" in spray cans, so you might want to look into that. My friend (Nissan 200SX) got his calipers powder-coated red and they look real nice. I got a black SS/SC and am thinking about painting the calipers red as well.

 

Yeah that's what I was thinking about was that VHT stuff. Some reviews I had seen said it was decent. I just don't know that I wanna drop the money on powdercoating LS brake calipers of a cobalt. Haha

 

i'd paint the drums black, maybe the calipers red. preferably black, i think painting brake parts is kind of 'flashy' and 'over the top'

 

See that's kinda what I was thinking. Like its different when they're brembos and calipers front an rear but I think painting the drums some bright color is best left for honda's. Haha. That's why I was thinking about black especially for them. I just don't want rusted parts showing ya know?

 

Take out the pads when you do the fronts. I hate when people just paint everything. Looks like ****. Especially if it's a noticeable color.

 

Yeah when I do it I'm gonna also replace the pads then too.

 

I'm going to paint my calipers red and my drums black when it warms up.

The drums in the rear are all rusty looking, it looks awful.
