Okay, I've got a Gen6 Coupe EX V6 and am going to be replacing the brake pads shortly. I was toying with the idea of painting my brake calipers and looking for opinions, which I doubt will be in short supply. I just want to get opinions before I go off and do it and find out they look gay (not that there is anything wrong with that).

So, if you have suggestions or other comments, please share. If you've got pictures of a similar car, I'd be interested in seeing them, if possible. If you have suggestions/feedback on a caliper paint/coating reseller, I'd be interested in that too.. Not too much to ask, I hope.

Thanks much,

I like the look of painted calipers, I'm going to whenever I put my new rims on, it's going to look sweet.

That's just my opinion though, definitely gives the car more definition.

 

i personally have problems with things looking gay but thats just me.

 

I painted my calipers orange, and I've been complimented a few times by my friends. I think it all depends on what color you paint them and how they contrast with the color of your car

 

Hehehe.. Yeah, I don't really want something that looks gay either.


I forgot to ask if anyone had any suggestions for a color for the calipers.
My Coupe is Regent Silver, which is silver with a hint of blue (just like the Prelude silver). I've been thinking of either dark blue or black colors, but not sure. I've kinda got the bluish silver and black thing going on, but doubt the black calipers would stand out much.

metallic blue is a phatass color... actually metallic anything is a phatass color

 

Why do you want to do this again? For aesthetic reasons? Well, in that case, take a dremel to them, and make them shine. Nothing looks better than brand new looking calipers.
