joebaggg · 03-26-2007, 02:18 AM

Im debating what color to do the calipers. my old car had gold. looked good and stayed clean, what do you guys think? (red should be saved for the brembro's, but ill throw it in there anyway.) im leaning toward gloss black

Gloss Red
Gloss White
Gloss Black
Metalic Gold
Metalic Orange

I think... gold... but you should really do something about those red roundels.. I'm not one to bash mods, but it really bugs me! lol. sorry.

joebaggg · 03-26-2007, 10:16 AM

humm.. u guys are going with the red so far...

canucklion · 03-26-2007, 11:05 AM

since you got a red theme going on, might as well carry it over to the calipers

oldaccount · 03-26-2007, 01:57 PM

dont paint stock calipers

Tropicool · 03-26-2007, 02:35 PM

well to go with the color combonation with ur car, i would personally pick something else that doesn't go with ur car at all, like a metalic blue, or zebra striped calipers, to match the red roundels that dont go with anything.

or you could just paint them brown, i bet that would look good too

Adham · 03-26-2007, 02:36 PM

painted OE brakes just look bad ...

ibd12nv · 03-26-2007, 03:24 PM

I have to go with the red on a silver car.

joebaggg · 03-26-2007, 03:44 PM

i dont know about the red... everyones going toward that. i think its too flashy for those rollerskate stoppers they put on there

GuyOh · 03-26-2007, 04:00 PM

poser, dont paint stock calipers, u'l get your car keyed, lol

j|rz44 · 03-26-2007, 04:56 PM

go black then....
unless these guys with the big mouths want to
pitch in the $7k for your painted bbk....

shragon · 03-26-2007, 05:02 PM

black.

stock calipers painted red (or any loud color) looks silly imho. why would you want to bring attention to stock calipers?

MacAttack · 03-26-2007, 06:33 PM

Yellow on white. Cool.

cgnahc · 03-26-2007, 06:50 PM

Gloss black...nothing too special about stock. May give a cleaner dust free look to the wheel.

j|rz44 · 03-26-2007, 07:09 PM

when i go bbk... im going yellow

maybe if stock bmw brakes werent so sick I would actually have a reason to upgrade.
