2 words for you Ronald

BRAKE FADE

 

What type of paint is good for calipers? I remember painting some once and it didn't last very long.

 

Well seeing as how hot your brakes get I'm going to suggest a high temp bbq paint

 

Not sure you are going to find the BBQ stuff in Mickey Dee Yellow.

tacomaworld has turned into a bunch of assholes. I say do want you want it's your truck.

 

I say you should do whatever you like. F everyone's opinion.

 

I need more lol! I'm curious why it's okay for sports cars and not trucks? There are a lot of trucks out there for show, not saying I'm building one. When I have open wheels and all I can see my silver dirty calipers and rear rusty drum brakes so I figure I would see how popular yellow was since it's the color combo for red sports cars. I'm not dual toning the tacoma red and yellow just the calipers.

 

Just over the Internet tho right

 

yes.

 

Mine are silver

 

its a close poll.

 

I'm not diggin your vibe bro... this is the official "Bro-doze your Brakes" thread.

Leave me alone I know what I'm doing.

 

Nope, just who I am. If you deserve to be told what I think I'll tell you don't have any worries about it either. At 6'4" 285 I haven't had any takers yet.

 

When you buy a Porsche , and its equipped with brembo brakes, you have to keep in mind brembo only makes brakes, they are a brand and need the logo to be bright so people acknowledge their ability. That's all they got. Painting them bright red is their marketing.

Taking a set of brakes from Honda / Toyota / what ever else is mass produced by the tens of thousands, that is done with the least material / strength / quality to get by the NTSB to say your car can stop 130 feet after apply the brakes, doesn't really meet the criteria to be respected too well. Therefore painting a basic brake is highlighting the failure of what car manufacturers should work harder to improve.

Yes brembos can fail or warp, but I hope you get the idea of what I'm saying.

 

Calipers can look good painted, problem is they get dirty quick and are a bitch to clean and repaint, ive done mine red a couple times and like the look but never get around to doing them again and then they look like crap after a couple years. Drums look silly painted and will just remind you that the tacoma still has drum brakes.
