Painting calipers

Has anyone tried that "heat-dissapating" caliper paint they sell at Autostyle?

Or should I just strip the calipers and send them to a powdercoating company?

Also, What colour calipers for a white SX?

at that powdercoating company in honeydew you will pay less than 200 bucks for powdercoating!

so go do it.

i vote bronze - but thats cos its my colour scheme.

your car is white - so gold, black, or bronze will look lekka!

Red works works on golfs so dont do red.

White car...uhm...uhm...bronze i'd say will look the part old chap.

I used that spray that you can buy at autostyle and ja it works...for a while that is. It starts chipping away after a while and the color somehow fades with time.

Go do the powdercoat thing, its works great!

Bronze will look gay unless they are Brembo's.

Do the calipers also have stripes???

I vote gloss black.
Used engine enamel cost 30 bucks per can ( i masked the Nissan on the calipers and made it white.) 4 months later still looks lekka!

Taste differ and by the way I think that white top secret skyline looks awesome with the gold and bronze!

Pick another colour prominent in your interior setup or enjin bay, or a colour that will complement your current wheel or future wheel colour. A colour on one car would look crap on another purely because of all the visual differences.
