370Z brake caliper colour change

[fergie1471]

Has anyone brightened up there calipers on the 370Z? I don't think the dark grey shows the wheels off as well as a coloured caliper would.

 

Whats the best way to go about it? don't want them looking shoddy

 

Ay experiences?

Not on a 370z but had RT Performance paint my 350z Bembos red and add white decals.Looked very smart when I had the z.

I'm looking at brakecaliperspeacialists. I'm tempted to go with gtr gold colour as mine is black

[Wayne370Z]

If I remember right ioneabee did his in red and put a thread on here about them.

[ATTAK Z]

P15ULT and Zmanalex have supplied painted calipers to members

[P15UL T]

I don't have any 370z calipers to offer the painting service just now. Try contacting Zmanalex.

 

I've had loads of 350z brembos painted in the past with no problems though

i painted mine blue then added white writing ... they pop well

[fergie1471]

How much do you think ball park Im looking at price wise to get them done. Id have to just take the car down and leave it with them

[P15UL T]

To do it properly they need to be removed from the car. I'm sure any decent body shop would be willing to do it if your able to leave the car with them for a few days

[fergie1471]

cheers. might pop in a few places on my way home from work and see what they quote

Mine were done by The Wheel Specialist at the same time as my alloy refurb.

im also looking to get this done. I've been pondering over yellow or red callipers on my le mans blue. think i would prefer the yellow. like a Porsche yellow, or a bit deeper. anyone with le mans blue done their callipers?

[fergie1471]

Yellow would look good with the blue. Mine I white so I think red will be best for mine

[gstraw]

anyone have any pictures of yellow calipers? wondering if any zed owners have gone for yellow

[Justthejedi]

I'm thinking of getting mine done too. The grey doesn't show up very well. As mine is Titanium grey i'm thinking either yellow or the gold, same as the 350 Brembo's.

[gstraw]

Hmmm not sure the yellow looks that good against the blue actually. Might need to go with RED more OEM.

Any ideas the paint code of that yellow? I was thinking Porsche yellow

Red works on all blues. Yellow only works on certain blues on certain cars. Don't think it works on a 370

[gstraw]

 

Thinking this yellow perhaps. Bit darker thank the other guys

Thoughts?

That pic I found on google had a lot of black on the car which didn't help but I don't think yellow will work on a blue 370

 

How about orange? Irn bru theme lol

[nrenz123]

Where can you get the Akebono transfers?

[low IQ]

P15UL T when you paint the caliper are you using water based? I'm gonna paint mine next weekend at work and have enough water based in a specific colour paint for the job.

 

Cheers for the advice.
