Can’t decide caliper paint or no? Help!

[navyflyer]

I keep going back and forth on whether or not I should paint my calipers red to match. I crudely edited a photo so I could see what it would look like. Still can’t decide. What y’all think? Yes or no. Appreciate it!

Looks good to me. Matches the grey/red theme you have going on.


But don’t listen to me. Your Jeep, your mods. Do whatever makes you happy.

A lot of time and trouble for something that’s hardly noticeable………. Uh— from a guy who just ordered high dollar BLACK McGard lug nuts. I just had to have Black ones. Jeep Thing?

Therein lies the dilemma….wait, they make black lug nuts?

If you think it would look better by all means go for it. However, I'm pretty sure 99% of the people that see your Jeep won't even notice.

If there was a poll option for “looks ricer”.......I’d choose that response..

Painted calipers only if you're actually replacing the stockers with something bigger/better. Not a fan of painting a mechanical part just for the sake of showing a stock piece off... like painting your stock diff covers red or something.

I’m thinking about getting my
Calipers powder coated I wouldn’t paint them because I don’t think I finished will come out as nice as it will with the powder coat, although it will be much cheaper

I did the caliper paint and I'm happy with it. It was relatively easy and you don't need to be a pro. Nobody sees them up close so the quality of the paint job isn't important. It if looks good to you, go for it, even if nobody else notices.

I do it to help with corrosion, calipers always turn rusty quickly once they start laying down the salt. I even paint the hats and ends of the rotors black. Also it's your jeep do whatever you want with it that doesn't involve a angry grill. If it makes you feel any better I will be painting my calipers red when I do the 392 rear calipers and rotors swap, mohave knuckles will also be red

If you like it, I say do it. I am a fan of painted calipers, but I am not sure I will take the time to do it myself.

Also, Not sure they will be very noticeable through my new wheels...
