I am planning on painting my brake calipers next time I have off work. Anyways, I got the lapis blue metallic with black rims and tinted windows. I am stumped on what color to paint my calipers. Should I go with red? I know it would stick out, but the only other red on my car is the rear reflectors and those will soon be black.

 

Def Red, it goes with anything!! Looks classy also

 

Well if your refle3ctors/lights are going to go black, I'd say get (if you can match them right!) the blue of your car, if not red is the classic performance caliper look. Then again Nissan's bronzish yellow always looks good on a blue 350z or blue skyline so why not pick that color for your Mazda6? I vote nissan/brembo style bronzish yellow

 

I don't think I'd go red... If you're going for the black/blue look, i would go either black or find something that matches the lapis. If neither of those appeal, I'm throwing a vote in with Turbo for the Nissan color.

 

go BLACK , DARK GRAY, or GUNMETAL. cant go wrong there...especially since your windows are tinted and you have black wheels.

 

Man this is a hard decision...I want black but you woudln't be able to see it much behind the wheels, and red might not go great with the colors of my car. Hmm I will look into the Nissan color.

 

try something a little different... i've seen this done to a few cars and i liked the results. paint the bottom part of the calipers black, then the upper caliper (the larger one) red or blue. looks very sharp.

 

Hmm that sounds like a good idea. I have the black Dupli color set right now, and maybe I can use the rest of my friend's red set. Ill take some pics next week when I get to this and let you all know how it goes.

 

red always looks really good no matter what and everyone that drives by is definetly going to notice it! go red!!
