Burning Brakes
2011 GS White - calipers painted red. I got decals for calipers from Ebay.
I removed calipers from car and spray painted W/ VHT caliper paint , After cleaning. I used rubber stoppers in fluid ports to keep soap/ water out.
You have to Paint all at one time or wait 7 days before recoat.- (learned hard way)- By the way VHT/Dupli-Color same company.
Had to bleed brakes/ change out fluid. With all the Mech/cleaning/painting effort quite a job for this old man. Work/time job took 1 1/2 weeks, but worth it in the end.

I went with red calipers and black wheels.
Had them powder coated by Mike the powder coater.

Red or blue either one would look good.

I have the titanium seats so I'm going for the black/white theme so I don't want any other color on my brake calipers.
I realized after posting the above my tail lights etc don't fit my scheme but don't plan on changing anything

I have black wheels, while red is a good contrast, I thought about going a different route. Black wheels are already too much for some but I thought about a lime / neon / Lamborghini / Kawasaki green for the calipers.
White car with black wheels will allow a green contrast. The black wheels will allow virtually any color contrast for that matter.
White car with chrome wheels, red and blue are typical colors.
Ricer? Too much? See pics below. For now, they will remain stock.
