OK so im painting the calipers as soon as I get my rims on. I dont know how to make a poll so here it goes...

P.S I have the 3 dr but you get the idea.....Cleong, i hijacked your picture and messed with the tails and side marker to make it look like mine!!

blue....

at3GG · 12-19-2008, 01:27 PM

white...

at3GG · 12-19-2008, 01:28 PM

or common red....?

at3GG · 12-19-2008, 01:29 PM

I know its more common but i think i like the red....

Tamago · 12-19-2008, 01:30 PM

black :)

or a nice dark bronze

also, that "high heat" paint mumbojumbo is a sell tactic.

i sprayed my calipers with one light coat of "import spray" from wal mart and never saw any peeling or bubbling.. 2 years of autocross and they were fine..

ChinoCharles · 12-19-2008, 01:41 PM

it's basically just a color coded paint.. sold in small cans that have a generic color code on them

at3GG · 12-19-2008, 05:03 PM

ahhhh. I think I may go with black just to keep the color scheme....i dunno yet

ddongbap · 12-19-2008, 06:17 PM

Pink.

Everyone knows that clashing colors are the new "IN" thing.

Black. I did mine black and used a small paint brush. No messy paint spray.
