Input needed please. I am going to paint the calipers on my Lex tomorrow, what color should I go with? I am considering either black or red....My car is white, with tinted windows and gs430 chrome rims. Please help me out guys!

Red will stand out a lot more if that what you're going after. Otherwise if you just wanta clean solid color on it, not too flashy, black is the way to go. I guess it all depends on your rims too. Some cases I'd do black, but more often I'd use red.

JohnnySC

Yeah, I am kinda leaning towards red at the moment too. Flashy is kinda good

Plus red is the classic big brake color. Are these good brakes your painting, or just stock? I would have to say go black if they are just stock. Flaunt it if you got it, otherwise, no.

JohnnySC

nah, they are just the stockers, but I do have the lexus stickers to put on after I paint them.

I painted mine with 1200 degree aluminum paint, they look nice.

hmmm, im stuck with the same question.

that red looks really nice ... that aluminum looks really nice...
i think aluminum would look better on a black car with chrome wheels but it doesn't stand out as much as red would... what do you guys think?

oh, and i'll be doing the supra tt brake upgrade with drilled rotors front and stock sized drilled rotors in the back.

i went with red. My car is black with chrome rims. Looks great.

Hey John,
You otta go Silver. White car, Newly Chrome rims
Silver or Black Calipers would look better. But definetly silver,
It will look sharp and clean. Red looks better on Red!
I was also just thinking about doing the same to mine!

Hey 933005spd,

What rims are those? I like em, except those damn fake bolts, why does every wheel maker have to do that? BTW, looks like you're a little low on air

JohnnySC

Yeah, I think I am going to actually go black, just got back from the store with the black paint. I will post some pics later today.

I went with red, just to match the car. I likely would have painted them black if the car was still a solid color. Maybe silver, that does look nice. But then again, I do like the look of them in red. It's hard to say.

The red does look very nice, I guess since I have the big brake kit on my silver rx7 and the calipers are red, I mind as well do black on the SC.
