Hi,
I am asking this questions on all the forums. I am looking for opinions on painting my brake calipers. I have three options:
Red (black or silver “Firehawk” stickers)
Black (silver “Firehawk” stickers)
Silver (black “Firehawk” stickers)
I am struggling because red would really stand out, but I’m not sure if it would look right. My main concern is how red will look with the purple “i” in Firehawk. I plan to put small “Firehawk” stickers on the front calipers. There is a lot of red on the back (taillights and “PONTIAC” fill in letters) but nothing at all on the front. So what do you think?
Black would look clean and be easier to keep clean, but wouldn’t stand out.
Silver would be the same as stock basically.
Let me know what you guys think, here are some pics of the car.
Here is a pic of a Hawk with red calipers
Im thinking that red may not look the best.
Thanks!

Re: brake caliper paint opinions?
Do you want them to stand out, not stand out or be easy to clean?

Re: brake caliper paint opinions?
Personally, my vote would be black with silver.

I think I'm going to do black with silver stickers because after looking at some pictures I think that silver would look kind of "off" being right behind chrome.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: brake caliper paint opinions?
Ever think about powdercoating them instead of painting them?
If you decide to paint, I've heard people having a lot of success with BBQ grill paint.
