Any one have a white T/a or camaro and painted their brake calipers? I see alot of red but I'm not sure if it would look right on a white car, and i'd hate to paint them and then get 'em on and say that doesn't look right. Know what i'm saying?

 

I painted my old car blue, I had a white ta kinda made it look like the 30th anniv. with blue stripes.

 

my roomate has a white SS with red calipers....PM me if you want me to post a pic.

 

With white, you can go with just about anything. You should pick a color, and have a few matching accents.

 

i got a white z28 wit white calipers

 

I'd try this one. You don't want them to draw your eyes away from the car itself, and I think red ones would. If it were my car, I'd leave them the way there are now. I'm not a fan of the painted calipers.

 

Black would look good, very subtle.

 

On my white T/A, I did the caliper brackets in black and the calipers in silver aluminum. Before the clearcoat, I applied black Trans Am decals to the calipers. I think the look really good with the silver cad rotors.

old wheels


like others have mentioned, I have a red/black theme going.
I changed the ss emblems on the car to black/red and made the scoop match too

 

i agree black would probaly be your best bet

 

Since I don't have any red on my car I guess I'll be doing white with black, and see how that turns out. Thanks for the ideas.

 

white car w/ red calipers..

 

Here's another

 

^ I likey!!!

 

LS1Adam,

I like you car man!

 

someone had gunmetal gray calipers and chrome brakets that looked really sharp

i had mine polished after several attempt of painting them. I couldn't find a color i liked with SOM

 

I did white calipers, black decals, and black brackets. It makes it look a lot more subtle and not so much in your face.

No comments about the shitty snow flakes

 

You realize by painting them white they will turn brown/black in no time from brake dust, dirt, road tar, mud. That is if you drive it at all. If it stays in the garage and isnt a daily drive, should be fine. And don't do black. You'll lose the caliper in wheel well. Black blends in with the fender wells. I would do red. but good job. did you take off the calipers individually?

 

Thanks for the pics King James thats the exact setup I want to do, I agree with Nikeair about the black calipers blending in with the wheel well's. I haven't taken them off yet, but I'll probably have to do it one by one. My car's a daily driver but I wash it just about every week, cause I work at an airport and it gets jet exhause/fuel on it I'm sure, and would hate for that to ruin the paint. So it probably would stay pretty much clean.

 

Tranzam01, I just saw the pic's of your wheels Thats pretty sweet too I might have to reconcider, my colors. I looked but didn't see any full side veiws on your album do you have any you could send/post, something like King James pic?
