My project for the winter. New rotors, pads and painting calipers. Any suggestions as to color? I was leaning towards body paint color

Body color would look awesome. Also, a shade of gold would look good with the AE Red color.

I thought about a gold. It would have to be a darker bronze/gold or it would probably clash with the wheel color

Do a google search on brake calipers color and click on images this should help visualize

I agree, body color to me is the best look. My son and I just painted the calipers on his Torch Red C4 yesterday. We used a rattle can of Dupli Color red purchased from O'reilly. Once we sprayed it on, I noticed It was actually more of a cranberry color rather than the typical bright red we were expecting.

I sampled the color to my Mag Red C5 and thought it looked close enough to use on my calipers. I'm excited because I've been wanting to paint my calipers for a while, but didn't want to use the standard red color that's available in caliper paint.

I'm not too crazy about other colors for a Mag Red, I feel it would take away from this beautiful color by becoming the focal point of the car.

With your color, red would clash....got with high gloss "black". I think it would stand out. jmho

My mellenium yellow calipers look great with my new mellenium yellow paint. Just so you can see what matching colors look like.

Thanks. I think I've decided on going with body color. I suppose painting the brackets would also be the best look?

When I painted mine (only a few weeks ago), I also did the brackets. To me, it needed to be done too.

That's what I'm talking about. Looks great, nice job. Can't wait to do mine.
