Painting my brake calipers

I own the gray mazda6 and i was wondering what color of paint would be nice looking for my brake calipers. I was thinking red or yellow but i havent seen them on a car yet to know if it would be nice looking or not. Would painting the calipers void that part of the warantee?

Painting your calipers should in no way affect the warranty unless you damage something in the process. I think red would look really nice myself. Any special wheels or other accessories you might have added that a certain color would compliment?

do them white

as was previously said, if you have a "theme" color then stick to it. Red usually looks good since aftermarket calipers are often red. I would aviod dull silver or white, just because I personally don't think it would look right with the silver of the wheels. And white, as any light color, would show dirt/brake dust rather easily

i have worked at a dealership, and i have never heard of caliper painted voiding a warranty

okay, thank you guys. I'm still leaning towards the red paint. I want to get a new set of wheels but I am not sure what yet. I figured the warrantee wouldn't be voided if I painted them but I thought maybe it could be a violation. Once again, thanks guys!

Another vote for red calipers. We have a different type of car, which is silver, and we chose to go with a powdercoating process...and we chose black. We put the STi front brakes on a Forester XT, and didn't want to create a high profile look. I really like the black, and it hides the brake dust pretty well.

If I were doing it again, I might choose red, though.

you're not going to go wrong with black. but red definately gives the best sporty look for calipers

I have steel gray and I am thinking about going with some shade of orange for the calipers and decals. Opinions?

I just picked up my red caliper paint, I think this is going to turn out real nice looking. That orange paint would be pretty sweet lookin'.

I have a Lapis Blue 6s and I was wander what color to paint my calipers? I was thinking maybe Red or Yellow but I dono what I want to do to them.

blue calipers could be nice but they should match the color of your lapis blue car otherwise they will look tacky. In my personal opinion, you might want to go with an off color such as red or yellow. Yellow would probably be your best bet to make them stand out nicely. But if you are thinking of doing a whole theme, you might want to keep in consideration what color your calipers are as well. So if you paint them yellow, you might want to find a way to make something else on your vehicle yellow such as undercarriage neon lighting or interior yellow lighting.... you could even go into your engine compartment and paint that up a bit if you are willing. I am just trying to give you some ideas to help you at as much as possible. I am painting my calipers red once the weather gets nice out and I have time. Pictures of that will be posted asap once that happens so that I can give people ideas of what they look like.

I was gonna do mine red this spring also ..... the black ... red ... and chrome will make me drool every time I look at my 6xy

On the Cobra , I bought a sort of chrome undercoat , with a blue anodized overspray that is heat proof from DupliColor , but haven't yet painted 'em . The car is White with the interior black and saddle (tan)

red would look really sick looking off of your black mazda6. and with your chrome wheels, that is gonna be a great combination. I can't wait to see that all once it is done a prettied up.

if it is gray do yellow if it is black do red
