Caliper Color...

I have White Civic Coupe w/ Black to Silver Tint and the following silver accept pieces (aka these upgrades are painted silver)...

M3 Mirrors
Wipers
Upper Grill
Lower Grill

I have White Rims...I'm installing Brembo Rotors and Tein SS coilovers...

What color should I paint my calipers...I would think silver...but I don't really think it will glow enough down there....so what other color? Blue? Opinions wanted

Hi, everybody,

I noticed some people like to paint their caliper and also their drum.

with the same tone of color, or depend on the combination it can make the car really looks nice.

The front rotor of civic 01+ can be replaced with a crossed drilled one but how about the drum? the Drum to disc convertion is extremely difficult.

I have a pair of disc simulator I want to sell out here, only 15$ for the pair. It was red, I painted to silver but later on I painted my caliper to black so I don't need the silver brake disc simulator.

NOTE: a brake disc simulator is a disc which can be easily placed between wheel and drum, so it can cover the ugly drum with a CROSS DRILLE LOOK disc.

I painted my calipers, rotors, and rear drums flat black. I didn't want to draw any attention to my tiny front rotors and my o so lame rear drum brakes.
