Opinions needed..Yay or Nay on painted calipers???

I dig it , been considering doing that on mine but too lazy to take my wheels off lol

 

here is mh3kgt doing the red caliper mod and this is how I essentially did it. I just put paper in areas around the caliper

 

This is Mh3kgt finished product the flash amplifies the red big time

 

I painted mine like that too. I didn't touch the back brake drums though.

 

BLACK.

 

Yup, like your color choices too...

 

I don't hate it. They look alright...might look better color matched to the wheels. And would definately look better with some EBC rotors and green pads....

 

My drums are gloss black, better than the rust that was previously all over them. And you can hardly see the drums behind my crappy stock steelies

 

Ill take a pic of the whole truck tomorrow during the day, its not as noticeable as you may think the flash really makes them stand out. Its hard to judge with such a close up my bad

 

not bad

 

Anyone used that G2 caliper paint? I like the idea of brush-on paint to seep into the cast really well. I might consider it when spring comes. I might photoshop mine first to see what happens.

 

I used the Dupli-Color brush on , and it has held up well.
I took off my calapers and cleaned them really well, then I painted them.

 

I think it all depends on what wheels your running...IMO red looks sharp if your rims don't have a lot of openings , where you just catch a glimpse of the red, my Ballistic Havoc's don't have alot of open area , so I'm calipered red, also to match my Toytec coilovers, but on your MK8's I personally would've went black... My .02..

 

damn siiiick love those wheels man! and you do what you like! its your truck looks good.

 

Por que?

 

Yeah why not ads a little extra character, i haven't done mine due to my wheels covering most of the caliper

 

Fixing to do mine in black all four corners. I just don't like red anything.

 

Not my thing. Unless you have upgraded the caliper and want to show it off. I don't think showing off a stock caliper looks good.

 

Painted calipers always look good. Too bad there ain't calipers on the back to paint

 

Yay on painted calipers
