Thumbs up Painted my calipers

I just painted my calipers this weekend.
I think they turned out pretty good.







What do you guys think?

I'm with you on that one. I would have gone with maybe a TRD red, or maybe color match them to the car color (blue).

Re: Painted my calipers

A darker red or yellow would be more appropriate imo.

Re: Painted my calipers

I like the orange calipers on a nautical blue (navy).
-> That is a classic combination.

Good job painting too.

Re: Painted my calipers

I bought chevy orange to paint my calipers. I want to paint them before I get my rims, so when I put the rims on, it will be done. Im hoping the orange contrasts with my classic silver well. I do have a couple small orange stickers to go with it. Time will tell I guess..

s9e9t9h, did you paint them on the car or did you take em off and have to rebleed them?
