Default Caliper color for pewter

I painted mine red, which is a popular color. I bought the duplicolor kit from O'Riley's and brushed it on myself and then clear coated it.

I painted mine pewter with black trans am decals. Just regular automotive paint and high temp clear to seal everything in.

I painted mine blue with a white Brembo sticker on them. Fronts are 4pot and rear are stock. I painted these at least 5 years ago and I still like the look.
