Here's mine from a few years ago.

 

I wanted to see black too !

 

And this coming from someone who has a Maggie supercharger and needs an MCM high rise hood and won't fork out the dough needed to get one?

I'm gonna have to pass on the pink color but I will gladly buy you some pink for YOUR calipers...

 

Well its for sure the red does not take away from your fancy rims

 

Hello Yello95, how are you?

Here are my black calipers. They were red, which on some cars looks okay, but on my Pewter C5 they did not.

I like the look of the black, especially combined with the black and stainless Baer rotors.

Fantastic...your beautiful wheels show up perfect without any distractions...thanks Ray!

 

Thanks Ray! I have the same wheels and car color! When I clean mine up, now that the new tires are on, I’ll post a similar pic!

AND the same tires!!!

 

How about a shot of the entire side -- like the zoomed in too, but want to get some perspective.

 

Don't be afraid of going with a color other than black, red, or body color match. I went with a semi-translucent copper powdercoat on my Nassau Blue car. Looks pretty killer to me:

 

it sure does to me too!!!

 

It's better behind the (again, nonstandard color "Bright Brushed Metallic" finished) SP500's:

 

Removed rust on rotor hat, painted to match background of wheel, airbrushed/spruced up the calipers. As I promised:

 

I got mine powdercoated Anniversary Red.

Your rotor hats look amazing...may I ask that you post the process you followed and the paint/color you used to get them to look like that...

 

Thanks!! I used VHT wheel paint in “graphite”. Turned out to be a good guess since it’s tough to bring a wheel into the store. My local Autozone which is brand new, has become my go-to place because if the customer first attitude. After 2 coats of graphite, I then gave it a quick shot of clear-VHT wheel paint. Just a note, I’m pretty happy with VHT paint in general, and don’t be too close to the object, the graphite came out fast and plentiful! Light coats are the way to go because of the volume of paint that comes out.
I only have one in-progress pic. I removed the rust and other crud with a nylon fiber cup wheel (orange fibers)from Harbor Freight in my electric drill. Blew off the dust, then wiped it down, including the rotor face, with whatever grease cutting, Toxic Avenger cleaner I had on hand, (409 this time), then 90% Isopropol alcohol until it was all clean.
I removed or pivoted aside the calipers.
I measured the diameter of the painted area of the hat and the size of rotor. I laid out these dimensions on spare wrap vinyl and made 4 vinyl rings to mask off the rotors. I stuck them to the rotors, used some rags to cover what I didn’t want painted, and then sprayed.
We had nice dry weather yesterday and decent sun so they dried quickly.
The reason behind all of this was due to the new wheels having smaller hubs than the originals and the exposed rust was giving me the creeps.
If I left anything out, lemme know!
