To Paint, or not to Paint? That is the question.

Hey everyone, Like I said do I or do I not paint the brake calipers on my White '05 GT, I have the stock Bullitt wheels on it, And what color should I go with if I do decide to paint them? I don't want it to look "RICEY". Honest opinions please....

Hey Tim, I say, go ahead and paint them. I painted mine, and love how they came out. I get compliments all the time at shows. Just use a color that is a natural progression for the color of your car. You can use red, can paint them white to match your car, or you can paint them black. Even green or yellow would look good. Any normal color would look good. If you decide to paint them, I HIGHLY recommend G2 brake caliper paint kit. It comes in several colors, you brush it on (less mess than spray), and it dries quickly. I put 3 coats on my car, and the finish is smooth. Almost like they were factory. Plus, I haven't had ANY issues with cracking! I say go for it.
