Caliper paint color ideas

[Firsttexan]

I'm still trying to figure out at what point in time calipers became a fashion statement instead of just plain brakes. They get loads of brake dust on 'em. What else is there beside black or natural finish?

My whole car is a styling statement in one form or another.

For all you guys that painted your calipers did u paint over the brembo sticker? it seems everyone does? Does the G2 kit stick good to the front where the sticker is?

I have a base GT so I didn't have the brembos; just the sad bare OEM calipers.
Felt kinda poser-y to put a brembo decal on them so I went a different route; although I read somewhere around here that they actually are manufactured by Brembo but whatever.

I dunno how well the paint would stick to the OEM brembo decal, if that's what you're asking. I feel like sanding it down would be the safe option just to be sure.

I always notice bright calipers on exotics at car shows. Lambos seem to often have calipers that match the body color.

Beautiful car!

Thank you. It has always been my dream to own one.
I bought it right before prices went crazy. It is a 2015, I bought it October 2020 with 39K miles and 2 year bumper to bumper CPO warranty.
I could sell it for way more than I bought it for now.
Stock 0-60 in 2.91 (2.73 with rollout) and 1.63 60' per my dragy on unprepped streets is insane.

So nice man. Enjoy.

One of my dream cars is a GT3. I keep looking at the 2018 GT3's and I STILL CANNOT AFFORD IT! lol Mainly because prices have gone retarded.

Better hope for a personal income rise. Because GT3's won't be going down in price.

The Porsche looks great all Blk with yellow calipers. Mines all white so not a big help. Lime green G2 caliper paint and new deals from Amazon. On the rear calipers I did grind off all the casting lines and smoothed them up. Looks a lot better after doing that. OCD. Lol

That's a nice aesthetic improvement over stock (Although I prefer the wheels on this one) :

The Lime really goes nice with the white....
But maaan those rotors. Which ones are those? Been thinking about going with some aftermarket brake rotors like that. Really adds to the look.

Black and Yellow are sharper contrast, but yours looks great. I would probably go red calipers with shite if given the choice, but both look great.

Looks good. I think I read they are made by Continental.
