Hey Guys,

I was thinking about painting my calipers but can not decide what color. If you look at my signature picture you can see how the calipers are lost within the rim. I am looking for something that would stand out a bit with out over doing it. I know red is the standard but I feel red looks much better with a black rim. Any recommendation? Post some pictures of your cars if you have painted you calipers.

I can't find pictures of a black c63 with oem wheels that has red calipers. or Black?

Thanks
George

I painted mine orange but I have matte black wheels.

Yellow would look good, IMO

Wow looks good Petro! I like that color may even look nice with OEM wheels!

Thanks

quick search for black p31 c63s came up with this for red calipers:

I have found pics of cars with black rims, but I am looking for pics of cars with the oem wheels that are in my signature picture that have red calipers.

Thank you noodleman thats what I was looking for!! Black-clk500 also has red calipers in his signature pic, I always remember seeing his pic but couldn't remember his name.

Thanks for the help

I agree. In the thread above there is a black Porsche with yellow calipers and it looks very good.

Thanks for the help guys, I think its up to Red and Yellow, still on the fence.

Pink is a close third on the list lol

I vote yellow, but I'm biased.

At the expensive of it being a bit poser(ish), I personally really like the color MB uses on their carbon brakes, that yellow orange gold color! Just my opinion though.

Good call I like, there is something about the red I don't like but that color I am a fan of! I hope I wouldn't look like a poser but I guess the only way not to is to just upgrade to carbon ceramic brakes are those available for our cars?

The posing thing is out of hand when you start worrying about caliper colors. That's not posing, paint your calipers whatever color you want.
