Why not? If people want to paint their calipers, then they can. If you don't want to paint yours, don't.

I'm considering the same thing peady. I've got the Newport Blue car, I saw the video of Jackson's car in his 320kW ATW posts, and he has orange calipers, and that seems to go well with the Newport Blue. It'd look good on your car too I reckon... :)


If you decide to not go so bright on the Newport blue....I'll leave this for your consideration :)

Ps. Mark I'm sorry about the wheels :lol: But they should look similar to Robert's new wheels :D

That red does work nicely on the Newport Blue actually.

Hmmm... :)

I think any colour would look great with silver!
But red would look particularly nice in my opinion.

Did this more so for when I get rims and you can see them more, but you get the point... Sorry cvas, these were the only photos I have at the moment (just of the wheels! haha)...

I was actually thinking of yellow as well... Or gold... Or red! Not sure about which one would look best!

What I tried.

What I got. Kind of went overkill, each coat was fairly thick.

It would look nicer if I had wheels that actually shows my brakes.

I find that red, yellow, black and blue are too common, sometimes it's good to be different, I used Dupli-colour metal cast, they make calipers look awesome, if you want red I'd recommend it, looks amazing.
