Th3Franz Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I want to paint my calipers since I am removing all the wheels to mount new tires anyway. I might get new pads as well, so even more reason to paint the calipers while I'm at it. What color should I go with? I can't decide. Here's a picture of my car for reference: http://www.franzfx.com/legacy/7-17-04/legg13.JPG -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCDetails Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Definitely black. That's what color I painted mine and I think they look good. They just blend in with the shadows and disappear. Then you can put white labels on them and they will show up well. They will never fade and never look dirty. Black is a great color if you are painting stock calipers. No point in drawing too much attention to them unless you have done something else. I wouldn't mind red calipers if they were Brembos or something, but stockers should be hidden. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Th3Franz Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 And it just so happens my dad has some high temp black paint sitting around in the garage. So that's probably what I'll go with. Where are people getting these stickers to do that? -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Recommend gold with black, dark blue with white or silver with black SUBARU letters on the fronts, just the base color in the rears. Keep us informed of what you go with and your process for painting the calipers. SBT - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWortham Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Black is good. That's what I did on my car... http://www.gldomain.com/elantra/TibBrakesInstall/PaintedCalipers20004_zoom_564px.JPG But red would also look good on your car if it matches.

OCDetails Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Duplicolor Mirage colors For that burnt titanium look! Keefe I actually thought about that, but I figured it probably wouldn't work very well since its not high temperature paint. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

rc0032 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 i think i may do yellow on my silver legacy...maybe i like it on the porsches...so it cant be 'rice' I wanted to do a Bilsten yellow to match the struts. I cant decide between a yellow Subaru and black clapper or a black Subaru and a yellow caliper. -Black GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 photochop, or real? The pics look different, so not sure. I like the plain colored letters on black...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Photoshopped. The one with the yellow letters is my actual caliper right now. I painted it black. The yellow letters are photoshopped though. The yellow one is all photoshop. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .
