I'm thinking about painting my brake calipers, but am not sure what color to use with the Redfire. I'd basically consider:

1. Black
2. Redfire (i.e. match the caliper paint to the body)
3. Red - not matching.

As far as option 3, I realize that a standard, almost "torch" red caliper paint might look funny on the Redfire, maybe even clash - but I also think it might look kind of cool. Like it might subtly look sort-of less "concerned" with looks than with performance (even though I realize this is a totally aestetic mod anyway) - red calipers just scream performance for some reason...

Thoughts?

Of course, I'd love to see pictures of any redfire owners that have painted their calipers, regardless of color.

 

I painted mine the only red I could find which was more of a torch red I guess, but I personally think it looks good anyway. But you be the judge

 

Found one more

 

Looks nice. These are just the pictures I was hoping for. Yeah, I was leaning that way - I don't think I'd mind the different reds at all.

The chrome bullets look great. Where'd you get 'em?

Thanks for the post, Cathy!

 

I think you should go black or gray personally.

 

I got the bullits from Mustang Tuning. Really nice wheels and free and fast shipping. Good luck with the calipers......post pics when you get them done!

 

I went with a chromed looking redfire. Pretty glossy - sorry no pics, I broke the darn camera when moving. Got the paint ordered thru Pep Boys.

 

OK, you forced me to post pictures of my car.

 

Hey Chris, that shot with the mirror is such a cool pic! I love it

 

What kind of paint do you use to paint the calipers?

 

Thanks - I posted here on this thread. I got bored one day and saw the mirror and started to play.

I used G2 brake caliper paint.

 

[attachmentid=27937][attachmentid=27938]Yup I done did it !! I painted them Red too..... Got the duplicolor kit from Checker.....

 

Well, not exactly a Redfire :scratch: (see title), but looks great anyway!

BTW, is that "Got Stang?" sticker on the outside of the window? If so, I'd be expecting some black magic marker covering up the S in "Stang" at some point...

 

LOL!!!! too funny!!

 

The red calipers look great on Legend Lime, I'll have to paint mine when my GT gets here.

 

Any true Ford person would use Ford motor blue, period
