Paint?

 

[revinto7]

I was thinking maybe powdercoat or maybe trade someone with a pp1 gt

Trade em. The red is a very love it / list it color. I like them, but you are not the first to note that they stick out a bit.

He's got red Brembos on all four corners. Can't just trade with a PP1 not to mention there are differences in the braking systems.
If the red bothers you that much your option is paint them with caliper spray paint and some new decals. Lot's of info on the forum about painting them.

My car has the black Brembos with the red lettering on the front and the ugly Ford ones on the rear. I thought about painting mine but the black has grown on me. Plus the rear calipers do not deserve to have any attention brought to them. I think the Bullitt looks ridiculous with those ugly rear calipers painted bright red. Now if the rears were actually Brembos then it wouldn't be an issue for me.

Rear GT brakes between the PP cars, the bullet and regular GT's are all the same, only difference is the paint color on them. I have PP2 front brakes on my base GT. Anyone with PP brakes should be able to swap calipers with the bullet.

Yes, I stand corrected. I was thinking he was referring to his Shelby and I didn't notice this post is in the Bullitt forum. My bad.

No worries, I’ve definitely done the same before

And to think I just got a 350R just to get red calipers because I liked em so much on my Bullitt.....

I couldn't stand the red either; mine are now Audi Nardo Gray with black Brembo stencils.

I have been wishing someone local would be wanting the same thing and trade lol. I’ve been wanting to pull the trigger on a red set and sell my black ones to recoup as much as I can. Getting them PC cost the same as buying new and reselling my current back ones.

Different tastes. I love the red calipers on the Bullitts. I have the black with white lettering on my 50th limited edition. They blend in too much. You have to get pretty close to notice them.

I don't want to paint them though since I am trying to keep the car relatively stock.
