Painted Brakes...any other colours??

Hello there,

Next week Im going to paint my callipers.. I have invested in some fancy Brembo stickers (in white and black).

I have a good mate who has a panel shop and is going to do this for me....so....

Does anyone have some nice pictures or suggestions rather than painting them red?? Or is red the best/better look?

Mine is a 2002 2.7 (black brakes). I thought maybe yellow or is this too full on for my car??

Thanks...

Thumbs up

I think the red calipers would compliment your Porsche best. The yellow would look out of place and stand out like a sore thumb.

I also think red would look the best. Check out DJOLMAS's car. He did his in yellow, and with his black wheels, they look great, and different.

I like red.

And at the risk of sounding like a total idiot, I'm going to ask this. Are some callipers just red to begin with or are the red ones painted? When I ordered my car the wheels I chose had red callipers in the showroom, but mine are black. I guess I just assumed they'd be red.
