Just want to have everyone opinion about painting my brakes in front and rear...I'm not sure about the color but I'm interested in white!
I know that everyone here will tell me hey don't paint them white cause it'll always be durty but in summer time I wash my wheels as often as 4 times a week...so It won'T be longer to wash the inside of the wheel at the same time.....!
I was considering painting them black too but not as clean as white can be IMO!
What do ya all think? And is there any advice before doing it?
Thanks all!!!

On my old car I painted one side white and the other side black just to see what it would look like( it was a white car). I think the white draws too much attention away from the wheel and may be too bright. So I went with black on all 4 wheels. Why don't you try silver since your wheels are that color? Or what about the same color green as your car?

I painted mine flat black. Any kind of color will draw attention to the tite 10.3" OEM rotors and those mighty rear drums.

mmm ... I don't know if I'll paint them white till I do the rear disk brake conversion and brembo in front...!
I won'T paint them green like my car cause the paint is too expensive for this kinda job....and I can't paint them alone at home and I want to do it alone like everything I done on my car !

I like the idea of painting the brakes, but for me it's more about rust prevention. I got some advice here and bought flat black engine paint, plan to paint 'em soon!

White my dear would become very dirty - might as well paint it brown...............go for your car color - or a shiny black or something but please think twice about the white

im gin to paint mine RED because porsche's RED and i love Porsche's
but if not red im goin to paint them blue

i say go for the white but i think the green would look better with the color of your car
If you really wash your wheels as much as you say thou it doesn't matter so go with the WHITE
plus when you go to shows people will di\efinitely say something about even if it's only to say
" Man , Those things must be hard as hell to keep clean.He must clean those things everyday!"
which would be the truth, right?

Rider- why don't you do the calipers the same color of the body??? i think that would look tight... IMO
