Caliper - how to jazz up the one ugly part of my Z8

[Musta10000]

This does look hideous. I am hoping to powder coat the calibers, but Can't decide on the color. Looking for opinions.

What color should I do? My car is Silver/Black.

Had mine done in matte silver - they don’t stand out but very classy look.

How much do you want them to stand out? Being that the calipers are not anything remarkable, without being over the top your choices are probably red, silver, gray, or black. Red might be a little too Ferrari-like, my personal preference would be gray or black.

Skip,

I had mine done in black (topaz-crema). Dan MacKay at Bradan on Long Island did the work. If you want a paint and/or process input I'm sure Dan would be happy to talk to you. I've sent a lot of cars his way just tell him we are talking here.

Here are painted calipers on a Blu Pozzi 575 that Dan MacKay did for me. This is a Big Brembo setup. I think yellow is a classic caliper color.

The calipers on my Z8 are also in a matte silver.

Unless you have mono block calipers (after market). Don't draw attention to them. They are agricultural looking! Paint them to best disappear. Likely just black.

[Musta10000]

You are most likely correct.

I had them sand blasted and powder coated to gloss black last year.

Finally stopped by to get a quote - these guys do a great job and with labor to remove and reinstall they are right at $1,000. A little more than I was hoping for.

Cosmetic surgery is always so painfully expensive! ;-)

Paid something like $150 )

If you haven't painted them yet (yeah, I'm a bit late to this thread), paint them yellow. I've had a few silver Ferraris and always got them with yellow- look absolutely great!

Goid idea - have not done it. Thanks for the suggestion!
