What color should I paint my brake calipers?

[1 old racer]

Try Copper. It looks pretty good on RC and should look great on and shade of

red

Gunmetal gray or charcoal, for that "as cast" look with the ford script in White or script in black if you want that understated look, but detailed.

For that car in the first picture, I would go gloss silver - Like new OE, but on closer inspection, better looking, longer lasting and easier to clean

I like my pink front calipers they look fine like myself

Just info
There is a HI temp wrap for calipers out there.

Thanks for the pics and ideas. If anyone else has a RR with different color calipers, please post.

I have been thinking about blacking out the wheels and the 5.0. Black or perhaps dark gunmetal, charcoal or OEM Cast silver / clear are moving to the top of the list, if I get the wheels repainted black. There is a shop in town that will do the set of wheels for around $600. Good price? Or way out there?

I like copper. Whatever you do, please don't throw Brembo logos on them.

The copper goes well with them RR. Gotta think a baby/light blue would look good too…

Definitely no logos. I'm thinking another option would be to black out the wheels and go with the G2 color match to the Ford OEM "Magnetic". Not sure if that is dark enough though. Looking for some type of dark gun metal so that it has a little contrast to the black wheels and resembles a mostly blacked out version of the original uncoated caliper.

I'll have to keep an eye out for the make and model of the dark gun metal / charcoal-colored cars, since G2 will color match to any paint code.

Pink

with aluminum flake glitter.

I would say a blue or green.

G2 sells the custom colors they’ve previously done for others too

And they have a Mustang edition line of colors, although they don’t offer half of them anymore

Thank you. After 5 years I still look at it as I walk thru the garage on the way to my daily driver

Same ride different color, I think I'm gonna go with gloss black. Would like to see how your wheels look if you decide to re-paint them

Which black paint did you use on the hydraulic lines? Does it also need to be hi-temp caliper paint?
