I have a shimmering sand 2002 protege ES and would like to know which color you think would look best to paint my brake calipers. I am hesitant to go with red because it would be niners colors and I hate the whiners!

match body color

Astral

Take a picture of one of your wheels, get the whole wheel in it, make sure the caliper is visible, and some part of the car's body is visible. Post it.

Then we can Photoshop you a few different color options

Here's my pic. Someone photoshop some colors for me. Thx.

Let's give this a shot. My Photoshopping skills lack, mind you.

Starting off is a blue:



Then a yellow:



Then a red:



A black, I think that real black paint would look much better (shiny and what not):



And a poor poor attempt at gold:



I couldn't muster silver, maybe someone has l33ter skillz and can Photoshop silver paint.

I personally would go with blue, to match the car.

Thanks Astral..
I think the blue and gold are my top 2 choices right now. Although the gold you did is a little darker than what I had in mind. Anyways..I think body color is the way to go. Thanks a bunch.

seems like making the calipers body colour looks really good

but a problem now.....
i have a white P5 if i painted my calipers white, how fast would they get dirty, might be a waste ? any input ?

has anyone every painted there calipers white on this board ?

I would recommend you not to paint your calipers white. Because they will get dirty as any other color but it will be more visible on white ones.

I'd like to paint mine to match my body color (midnight blue), but I'm worried I won't be able to get a good match. Is there a standard paint that I can buy that I know will match?


Thanks,
Patrick
