i want to paint my calipers. im thinking about black but i kinda want it to stand out a little more. what do you guys think about gold calipers? or black with gold gtp on them? not sure how ppl do that tho
 


That would be badass with gold letters. Just cut out gtp out of paper and tape it on. Paint the gold first, lay down the letters, then paint black
 
I've got black calipers with red Grand Prix GT writing on them and I love the way they look on my black GP, I used like outdoor grill paint (like the cooking grill lol) and then bought the decals from housofgrafx and just stuck them on and its holding up great
 
Of course one problem leads to another. got new rotors today too. ended up just painting the calipers black for now, but i did find a gold paint thats a really good match. but the paint didnt stick and i just didnt have enough time. even tho i ran out of sunlight anyway. but now my brakes are very loud. sounds like the pads are rubbing against the rotors... possible caliper problem? it seems like both of them too. gah this sucks. get to tear everything apart tommorrow, and i get to hear my loud ass brakes all day to and from work.

oh and i did find out that im missing all but one of the bracket bolt spacers. could this be a problem? any help with this would be....umm helpful...
 


did you take them off to paint them?
if so, when putting them back on, did you get everything on correct and straight, such as the caliper itself? you bled the line properly? you got the pads all the way in right?
just throwing out ideas there.
 
What color is the car? It looks green in your pic. Black with gold lettering would look good. Especially if your going to get gold wheels like you were planning to do.
 


everything should be back together right. it stopped fine.

its dark green
i was planning having gold lettering on it, but i didnt have tons of time today and the paint didnt stick to the caliper. i might try it tomorrow since i gotta tear into it again. i will put pics up tomorrow
 
You also might want to think of painting them the same color as the car with gold lettering. That would look good to.
 
paint em black first then put on stickers spelling out something like pontiac or what ever and paint them gold like a set of gold brembos..would stand out and look sweet with a darker colored car...
 
i deff want to put gold lettering on it. green calipers with gold lettering would look good. finally got the noise to go away for the most part. except when the one rotor heats up...
