Two-Color Brake Calipers

Thought I would do something a little different, when I painted my calipers on this car.

i'm not fond of painting calipers. looks tacky to me. it's your car so if you like it that's all that matters.

Looks good, I did the oppisite on my Mazda. But the 2tone really makes it look better than one solid color. I plan on painting mine as soon as I get it.

Stock color calipers and rusty rotor hats look tacky!

So what you're saying is that Brembo's in gold look tacky. Think again man - IMHO

dude, what are you talking about? how did you think i said that on what i said. brembo brakes are on my to do list. brembo's already come painted so no need to paint them. that is why i said, PAINTING calipers is tacky. painting stock calipers is tacky. my brembo's will come in red from them. they look awesome if you ask me. my point is that painting stock, small calipers is just a waste of time and money.

I like it, very subtle with the two-tone. I really think it was worth the time you spent,not tacky at all.
