what color to paint calipers - Honda Prelude Forum

railsldr · 09-16-2002, 02:58 PM

I want to paint my calipers for a little mod since I can't afford anything big for a little while.

I was thinking silver or maybe a dark blue. Any suggestions. Also what is a good paint to get I only have Napa or Checker near me really for auto stuff.

chrome if you even can... you should get some smoked out front bumper lenses and smoke the rear side marker

What color is your car?

hey $$, lok at the top theres a pic, its black.

MR.CLIFFORD · 09-16-2002, 03:45 PM

Oh... Sorry.

My firewall isn't letting me see it. I can usually catch on the _ in place of the picture but that one was very sneaky!!

I would go with silver or a dark red

BLACK

I wouldn't exactly call painted calipers a "mod". Paint them black, if you decide you really need to paint them.

You cant go wrong with red.

Padge · 09-16-2002, 08:33 PM

i agree on red. or pink... i think red would look better.

My vote goes for silver or red.

Silver being my first choice.

as you probably saw, Brendon asked where to get bronze paint in the general forum and a guy posted a pic of his caliper. It looks amazing. Just FYI. And I too would like to find a good high temp kit that is gold.
