I originally Photoshopped some caliper colours for myself to help me choose a compatible colour and I thought id post up my work to help some of you guys on the fence on choosing a colour.

The previous owner of my car had them painted red but they werent done very well and the paint is now peeling. I may redo them in red or bronze but defintely with Akebono decals. I feel like that reduces the "rice" factor of having painted calipers.

I have a white car with black rims and red calipers, it looks amazing. So I vote red..........oh and red is my favorite color anyway.

IMHO, the pained calipers look much better with less pokes wheel like the CV3 .

I'm not convinced our cars are painted caliper worthy .... on anything other than exotics they look rice'ish (not full blown rice).

BTW .... saw a Altima 2.5 4-door the other day with Red Caliper covers ... now that was REALLY rice.

The 2.5 Altima is funny. A SR version would be better. I do think that the G looks great with painted calipers- it's my winter holiday project.

Yeah it was funny, I didn't have my phone with me or I would have snapped a picture for all to enjoy.

I voted bronze because I just did mine that color well actually burnt copper but close enough. lol

did you paint those wheels too??

Is there an off the shelf paint that can be used on calipers with good durability or do they always have to be pro painted?

VHT paint, available at your nearest automotive parts store.

VHT paint is a good choice but a better choice would be the self leveling paint from G2, they can even mix up a custom batch for you.

Soolmans' calipers are quite sublime
