Copper painted brakes

dghits26 · 02-16-2013, 07:19 AM

Does anyone have pics copper of painted brakes. I think it would look good on a black car .

EJ_3 · 02-16-2013, 09:17 AM

Think it'll look good too and different. However, when I think of black and copper... I think of Duracell.

I did mine in a gold color. kinda regret it because it looks like the calipers are rusted.

dghits26 · 02-16-2013, 11:06 AM

I saw them on a black g35 with brimbos . But I don't know what other color to use ....

dghits26 · 02-16-2013, 11:11 AM

Copper is a little darker than gold .

dghits26 · 02-16-2013, 11:21 AM

Anyone with pics

mapleridge · 02-17-2013, 02:10 AM

Black and goldish bronze is nice.

I've seen an c63 amg wagon with copper calipers I didn't like it, the guy who owned the car acutely powder coated them yellow. guess he didn't like them nether

^Very nice.

dghits26 · 02-17-2013, 09:12 AM

I guess copper is out of the questions . So what color would look good ?

I may go with black , but black car , black brakes . Seems like too much black .

If you're on stock brakes. The only color you should paint your calipers is black
