So I'm going to paint my calipers this weekend and can't really decide what color to paint them. I'm leaning towards red because I think it will make my cobra brakes stand out more. I have a Chameleon Blue 96 GT w/ Cobra brakes up front and stockers in the back. Thanks for your opinion.

Here's a link to some pics of my car.

Gotcha didn't see the moved Icon, was more engaged with trying to decide if this is a secret way to get more attention to a sale...

Paint them black. I think that only 4 piston or more brakes from companies like Brembo look good in red. Ford factory calipers look rice to me when painted red.

No it's not to get more attention for a sale. I will sell it if someone is interested, but for now I'm gonna keep the car and do what I want with it. I knew someone would say something cuz that's how this place is...

I'm gonna paint them black btw...

That color would look best. Get the high temperature "Duplo Color" paint kit at Auto Zone or somewhere. It has the caliper cleaner with it and it's great paint.










BTW... I have Eagle F1s these days....
