I think polished...or silver would look hot.

Polished takes time to do though.

it depends if you do it right, black you'd probably never even notice and red would look good. but if you do it wrong the red will stand out alot and will look terrible if it starts to peel.

No worries Aaron. Mine would be powdercoated or anodized black, not painted. :)


Oh, and I wouldn't post 684031380403843158 pictures of them after I was done. :hammer:

Cobra/PBR and GT/V6 caliper dont look very good powder coated....for some reason its makes them stand out to much.

IMO, only a 1 piece caliper like a Brembo, Stoptech, willwood, ect look good powdercoated

Flat black calipers look clean and discrete

I guess flat black powdercoat wouldn't work then. :uglystupid2:


How many "pieces" are PBR calipers? Oh, nevermind Handz... you're the expert on EVERYTHING. :hammer:

Umm, that's an anchor, not a caliper. Last time I checked, those are made of metal and can be powdercoated too if you like.

Yeah They can be powder coated. I have seen Cobra calipers that were Powder coated a few times and it look kinda Glossy and it looked like poop because the it reflected light and the anchor looked weird.... Unlike a Brembo caliper that is one unit and looks smooth. I have never seen flat black powdercoated cobra caliper in person so dont know how it would look... but it would look clean. I was say crinkle Powder coating would look sick also.

like i said, the only ones i have seen have been that gloss powdercoating jobs like the Cobra R brembos have. I wanted mine Powdercoated but the place i went to only did the Gloss Jobs.... so i just painted flat black. Comes out really nice if you spend the time with Sanding and Prepping

You're full of sh!t. No powdercoating place is going to turn someone away and say "Sorry, we only do glossy powdercoating here kid." Just go away - your idiocy is ruining this (and many other) threads.
