Poll what color do you think I should paint drums,calipers
« on: March 05, 2010 - 08:44:45 AM »

Can't decide what color to paint the drums and calipers? Red, black, silver, other?

Silver or red. I like the dull aluminium look, but expensive brakes are often red, so red looks like it belongs there too. :2cents:

I have red calipers on my new one, but that silver looks pretty good with your wheel.   :2cents:

I voted black, but I like Dodj's idea of dull aluminum, too.  That would be a good look with your minilite style wheels.  I would stay away from silver because no matter what color you pick you want the spokes of those wheels to stand out.  Nice looking car, too.

I voted red. The silver is nice, but will show brake dust and dirt quickly. The Duplicolor caliper paints work great. I used the red on my SRT front calipers once the original red got dull. It has held up really well.
