Actully yellow make your car more nimble, good for street racing, red makes you have higher top end.

go figure huh?

 

I was re-reading over this thread ... and was wondering what's the difference between powdercoating and painting it? I mean is there one huge difference or does it just look better?

 

I painted my rear drum black, because i didn't like the Rusty **** box look.

 

IOTus,

Hey man I'd say paint them black but really really glossy and the hub section of the disk silver.

Mine are glossy blue..... with the silver disks. Look amazing.

My reason for not picking silver on your calipers is because it'll be dirty all the time. Black suits your car and it's easy to keep clean.

 

Definitely black

 

Painted mine red (on a black SE) - looks good (IMO). It seems some prefer the rusted look.... probably because it blends in better with the rest of their car

 

Black does sound like a really good idea!!!

I'm going to look into it.

(BTW, a year after this post was first made, i still havent painted them LOL)

 

go with automotive engine paint... it will stand up the longest with heat... don't know if you can find black, though.

wonder how this thread popped up all of a sudden?

 

Matty's 1st first gen must have been grave digging, sure did dig this one out of the grave!!!!

 

A year later and no one ever answered Christi's question...so I won't, either......I imagine she's educated herself on the subject, anyway....

Eastwood has a great color range for calipers now and they are all specifically designed for braking systems and the heat of said systems....get a catalog...

 

Ha ha! Now I'm guilty of a noob transgression! A day late and a dollar short, I'm sure, for iotus, but here's the caliper color ad from Eastwood's latest catalog.....

 

I have mine gun metel gray, I will show a pic tomorrow

 

blue!

 

LMAO at the notion of a thread asking what color to paint calipers generating 3 pages of responses and spanning a year.

 

And the thread creator still has yet to actually paint the calipers!!!

Keep the opinions comin guys!!! HAHAH :-D

 

I just did these the other day.

 

Is this the same eastwood, or just another eastwood selling paint?

Black it is, almost definately sure of that now.
Pittdp, what color are the hub bits? or did you just clean them off?

 

I think a dark blue would be sweet

 

It's the same Eastwood, I just get a catalog every month or so to entice me into buying the latest tool....usually works, too....

 

Lets see how long we can keep this thread going for. Whenever it gets forgotten, i'll dig it up again or something. yay hahah hee hee oh....
