Having a dilemma on what color to paint the calipers.
Black or red? Red is common, but nothing on the car is red.
How will black look after 20k?

Ideas and comments guys and gals!

 

RED = Noticable
BLACK = Stealth

Which look are you going for ?

 

I have the same dilema, but with Perf. White. I am going BLACK as I have the 18" Polished Bullitts and I felt the black would hide the caliper a bit and make the wheels pop a bit more. (i.e. Stealth)

 

Yeah, I think Im leaning towards black. But looking for ideas. I dont think I want them to stick out. Factory brakes after all.

 

Hmm, after looking at the G2 kit. Im wondering how silver would look. Maybe too stock?

 

I debated on red, black, and Ford dk blue. I thought red may bring out more of the purple in the paint and black wouldn't even show, so I went with blue. It's subtle, yet still noticable. Then I added the running pony caliper decals. Turned out pretty good. I lost a lot of my pics due to a cpu crash last month, but if you do a search you can probably find the pics on my thread. If you are interested I can take some new ones and post em.

 

way interested!

 

Me too!!

 

Mine are red..

 

Donna, have a few with the whole car in view?

 

These aren't stock brakes but it will you an idea of what a black caliper would look like with tungsten.

Donna, yours look awsome. I just took these pics 5 min ago and it was getting dark. I hope they give you the idea. When I think of ford I always think of the big ole blue oval and I wanted that color somewhere on my car as an accent piece. The calipers seemed to be the perfect place for the color. Again, they don't jump out, but people do notice them.

 

Where are you guys getting those running pony decals for the brakes?

 

red always look's good
