just want some thoughts on what colour i should paint my callipers. i was thinking black. the colour with the most suggestions will be the one i pick.

I still think you cant beat rattle can satin black then draw a small file across the Nissan logo..with it being raised it clears the paint off the lettering and does not touch the calipers. Gives it a clean factory look.

black or leave as is for stock calipers, especially behind 19's

This! You really want to avoid drawing your eye to stock calipers.... :) I'd always go a silver/met grey or black. Any other colour is a bit of an eye-sore IMO.

 

At least he's not suggesting something lurid like yellow or red.

Actually Si they are a very attractive caliper with them being ribbed,plus when fresh and to most none zed heads they do look uprated behind a 5 spoke rime

Condoms can be bought ribbed. Makes them uglier than non-ribbed. :rofl:

But more enjoyable for the receiving party :thumbup:

Not if you've got a truncheon - you don't need 'em....and that's where these fall short. Anything but standard wheels and they look like they are from a car half its size.

Florescent green, or black to keep them hidden as they do look like biscuits.

ive got drilled and grooved discs to go on

In all seriousness I've gotta give mine a luck if paint, so il be interested in what paint is best.

Calipers have feelings too you know:sad:

I would do them metallic grey, the same colour as the wheels centre section to make them look clean and blended...... Might even make them look bigger as it will look like one piece.....?

Orange like your trolley jack, why blend in stand out from the crowd.

A terrible excuse for wanting to be 'different'. 'Standing out' (like a sore thumb) or being 'Different' is not always a good thing. Jocelyn Wildenstein's face is a prime example of that! :rofl:

Either of those.....:thumbup:

black it is, thanks guys. il post pics when theyr all done :)

I would go for Black with Nissan in Silver. Thats what I will be doing to mine when I get it. Coloured calipers only look good when you have got 6pot + behind 19's
