Default What do you guys think about this for my calipers?

My 98 TAs calipers have been painted red and I haven't done anything because the brakes worked fine. Well, now they look ugly and it is driving me nuts, so I think I'm going to put new pads and rotors on it. I was trying to think of a good color to do them because you can see almost the entire caliper through my 18" wheels.

I was thinking of spraying a candy red on them with almost chrome caliper brackets.

What do you think, too much shinyness to it? Or should I just go with a basic red and silver?

coat them with the glow in the dark additive and then mount a black light under the fenders so they'll glow at night!!!

Ahh, Bryan, there is the Bird Lookin good as usual

I have done my fronts red, and I'll be doing the rears, the Wilwoods, when I acctually break down and buy them LOL. Thought about color matching them to what the final paint will be, Blue, BUt I think Red looks best for springs and calipers, dunno why, but just does

BTW, what wheels are on there, they are sweet, like them evem better than my vette wheels, thy got more 'dish' to them

Thanks, man!

Yeah, I did the ones on the Bandit in gold. Came out pretty good.

The wheels are Sport Max 962s, 18x9.5 all around. I like them a lot, but I have the very first set made and two of them have clear peeling off of them. I'm just gonna buy two more and use the other ones for drag radials for the track.

Love the stance on your car! I really need to get my Bandit going, but it just keeps ****ing me off.
