Painting calipers

[chauncey0337]

This was just a thought because I was wanting to do something more to my truck and I'm not sure if I'm going to do it but what would be a good color to paint my calipers?

black or silver just to make em look clean

Black would look good with those wheels. Lots of people like red too. you going for flashy? classy?

Yes I was thinking of going for the clean look.

Classy. Probably going with black or maybe silver like suggested above.

lol back in the day i painted all the calipers red on my cars. over time i realized no matter what color theres nothing cool about stock brakes. now as long as they dont look rusty or oxidized im happy.

Red calipers add +50 hp to your truck.

WRONG!! It doesn't add 50 HP!!

Its 39 HP

I wonder if certain paints would hold heat in? I have heard of such a problem on non-auto related areas.
