i don’t know. I guess I’m silly but I personally thought it would be worth the little extra money spent to buy the red “Bullit” pp1 brembo replacement caliper kit. I got it for basically $1000 flat. To me looks great and has the stock red ford oem rear calipers as you can see in the pic along with the red brembo fronts. After you sell the brembo set from the pp1 for about $500 you’ve essentially spent the same as professional paint or powder coat.

I think I'm going to paint mine an as cast alum. high temp paint color. I did see an Audi suv that was a metallic blue body with charcoal wheels and yellow clappers. I'm just not sold on the red , seems overdone now.

I’ve had mine painted in yellow - personally I think it looks pretty nifty against the black wheels and VB paintwork. Looks a bit different as well.

I have no idea, nor do I care if you did or did not.I have never blocked anyone here. The stalker dude is confused.
It is a car forum, not the court of law.
Powdercoat.. Remove them yourself it isn't too difficult. Make sure the shop rebuilds with fresh o-rings and all.

I am not a mechanic but I thought that I would take my calipers off my GT to paint. All good until I found that that the threads on the tube nuts on the rear hard lines had been wrecked at the factory and would not re tighten into the calipers. For this I got a mobile mechanic in to cut the lines and re flare for new tube nuts.
While he was there I got him to bleed the brakes with a vacuum bleeder. Something I had not seen on any of the forum threads or you tubes was that the ABS unit gets bled via the OBD and Scantool.
So for me the exercise in painting my calipers while off the car was not so straight forward.

Personally I like the stealth grey stock calipers. People don’t even know I have brakes. Besides they go with my body paint which is stealth as well.

Yup, many forget about the abs, and bleeding the system.
Someone that knows vehicles will limit how much brake fluid is lost when they do this, but the person into cars but never worked on them, might let the fluid leak out till it stops, etc.
That was my point above. not everyone that owns these cars know brake systems, so for them, painting them without cracking open the system might be the best bet, if you tape up the fluid line after cleaning the parts you plan on painting , and cover everything you don't want paint on. you can do a great job, that a person walking by your ride, and looking at the brakes will never be able to tell that you didn't pull the parts off the car to paint them.
No one at a cars and coffee is climbing under your car to look at the banjo bolt and copper washer to see if you did it on the car or off.
A show car build or a pro being paid good money, sure. but the normal car guy, on the car will work and dare I say it, those that turn their nose up at the idea on here if they walked by your car would never know the difference unless you told them, or you half @$$ed the tape/etc so the paint overspray wasn't everywhere.
