there's like a rainbow's worth of colors on your car... I think flashy, eye-catching colors are over the edge for stock calipers... but something subtle like silver, dark silver, or black look much better than stock.

FWIW, everyone that sees them asks what BBK it is. When I tell them its the stock calipers painted, they are surprised and say it looks really good. I really like it now and think the red looks great on the AW.

However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I think they look very good and not 7k, Ihave e92 crimson red and want to do it only 2 worries, will it void brake warranty and will the color fade with heat and or pds dust? Thanks! By the way how much $ did you spend, they look very nice!

They cost like $39 for the painting kit from tirerack. No it wont void your brake warranty, how could it? Ive been in for the brake sensor warning 3 times and never once did they question my painted calipers. The paint is supposed to be heat and fade resistant. I have the same paint on my M3 and its 10 yrs old. Its still on there!

Thank you that helps a lot! Will get it done asap.

how could paint void your warranty?
it's like saying, decals will void my drivetrain warranty...
Sorry, but that's just common sense...

it's f'ing PERFECT... those wheels, those brakes, that color = sex.
You just need to get Euro's and you'll be finished. but damn, i was staring into those rims for like a minute straight!!

I vote black for the stock claipers, but red for the 6 and 4 piston calipers.

I really like the red look when it's a solid caliper.
The red on the stock calipers seems to look broken up since there are spaces here and there.

Here's my red calipers:
FRONT


REAR

Cool eh?

I know the alcon's are wayy too rich for my blood... and although the Rotora's are as well, i can still dream (more reasonably)

Mr.5, how much did you end up paying for the parts/install?? You can PM me if you'd like... i'm just really curious as to what the price would look like.

[Rips335iCoupe]

Paint them! Paint them! Paint them! I painted mine red, and they look great ... oh wait, ooppps! Never mind ... just remembered that mine are Brembos.....

Politicaly speaking, I'll say between 2400 and 2700 for the front and rear.
You can't go wrong with that especially when the brembos are 6k for the front and rear. I installed them myself so I didn't have to pay for the installation.

If you're gonna paint them, paint them a flat or satin black. Red doesn't look right on the OEM calipers in my opinion. I do agree that the stock calipers could use paint, they tend to look really dirty and grimy after a while.
