Painted calipers - A quick straw poll....

Simple silver with black letters looks good IMHO (or the nice blue that you can get with Brembo kits with white letters)

Not too in your face - nice and subtle.

Yes, silver with black letter looks nice as well.

Pah! Best way is to actually use your brakes so they glow the appropriate colour of choice s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Well i own a Red roadster, not sure what colours to go for at the moment. My ideas are below:

1) red with black spyder sticker
2) silver with red spyder sticker
3) yellow with black spyder sticker

Any suggestions? s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

I'd pick option 1.

Have you thought of black with white spyder sticker?

If you don't fancy that, option 1 might indeed be the better one.

Change the color of your spyder! s:mrgreen: :mrgreen: s:mrgreen:

LeeUK · October 9, 2003, 18:56

Change the colour! Genius, you're thinking outside the box! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

I guess i could always be different, paint the calipers in a "TVR" flip paint. I could have all the colours! s:P

s:P

Alternatively i could stop eating these smarties, i think they're messing with my head s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

it that the trd kit in your avatar pic?

LeeUK · October 10, 2003, 14:02

Who me? The car on my picture has a Trial bodykit. I want one more than anything in the world...

Anyway i've decided on Red calipers with a black logo. I'm getting my Spyder logos from Adam (GT 300) this sunday at the Jap Magazine meet at Santa Pod s:D

I have red calipers with my red 00 and they look good!

But i have done research into the flip paint for the calipers and they dont do it as it has to be heat resistant and if they did you would have to spray it and have it do profesionaly ! so the price will rpobobl be around £200 just for teh spray without the paint !!!!

not good when it ant gona last under the heat !

What you really want is that paint that changes colour with heat, I think you can get calipers for the misti evo that do that.

very expensive mind.

LeeUK · October 10, 2003, 14:58

Heat changing paint! That would be the muts nuts! s:D

s:D

Would it be heat resistant tho?!! s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

I have seen that heat resistant colour changing paint on a motor bike exhaust. If i remember correctly it starts black & then goes throught the spectrum until it finishes red.....or was it the other way around s:?: :?: s:?: s:? :? s:?

It looks awesome but costs the earth.
