What about a good quality powder coat?

Never seen anyone drop the coin on powdercoat. lol
If you're going to do it right, that's the way to do it, though.

Do not put red calipers on an orange car. Go white, dark blue or anything else but red. You want contrast not gaudiness

My calipers are Brake Dust Gray.

My car is IOM. I powdercoated my wheels gloss black and had calipers powdercoated IOM.
Looks good.

zr1chris · 03-22-2017, 07:47 PM

That looks great!

I bet White would look awesome with those white stripes, definitely be one of a kind

I had thought about that but after looking at pics of other cars with white calipers, it just looks odd and doesn't really stand out all that much. Might look different in person. Another thing is I'm thinking the brake dust will make the white look dull fairly quick. I would have to constantly wipe down the calipers to keep them looking good.

Powder coat Black

zr1chris · 03-23-2017, 07:49 AM

Powder coating would be nice but I just don't see enough of an upgrade over a quality paint for it to be worth the hassle of removing and reinstalling the calipers not to mention how much more it will cost.
