Brake Caliper Color Suggestions

I am going to paint my calipers but I can't decided what color. What do you guys suggest? Has anyone already done this and have a pic of them?

what trim g37 do you have? If you have the sport brakes, why paint over the Infiniti logos?

Please tell us you aren't painting the sport calipers... They are sexy from the factory.

^^^ I agree. If you want colored calipers why not get brembos or some type of aftermarket brake...I think the INFI logo on the Sport calipers look nice. On the other hand if Non-Sport maybe coloring may look cool but are you tryn to mimick aftermarket or just going for a different look? What color is your G?

If you have the sport brakes, leave as is.

If not, I say color match to your car.

Do it! I was going to be one of the first to do it with the sport brakes but chickened out. You can't go wrong with bright red. I was going to send them off to be professionally powder coated but in the end just couldn't do it. Teh guy that was going to do mine was going to stencil the "INFINITI" lettering back on them. If not red you could color match them to your car.

I have a black 6MT with graphite leather sport with everything except all wheel steering.

I am leaning towards red or blue.
