K so i painted my brake calipers. Well, i’ve only done one so far. What do you guys think? I pretty much wanted them to look like the brakes on the 350z track edition. ![http://www.nissan.com.sg/lookfor/350z/images/perf_brembo.jpg](http://www.nissan.com.sg/lookfor/350z/images/perf_brembo.jpg) Before ![http://photos-893.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80893_4972.jpg](http://photos-893.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80893_4972.jpg) ![http://photos-892.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80892_7803.jpg](http://photos-892.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80892_7803.jpg) Middle ![http://photos-879.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80879_440.jpg](http://photos-879.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80879_440.jpg) ![http://photos-880.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80880_756.jpg](http://photos-880.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80880_756.jpg) ![http://photos-883.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80883_1704.jpg](http://photos-883.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80883_1704.jpg) ![http://photos-887.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80887_2985.jpg](http://photos-887.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80887_2985.jpg) ![http://photos-885.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80885_2334.jpg](http://photos-885.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80885_2334.jpg) After ![http://photos-888.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80888_3306.jpg](http://photos-888.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80888_3306.jpg) ![http://photos-889.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80889_3662.jpg](http://photos-889.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80889_3662.jpg) ![http://photos-886.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80886_2663.jpg](http://photos-886.facebook.com/ip002/v47/226/85/1657860007/n1657860007_80886_2663.jpg) ---

I like the middle haha, just regular clean aluminum calipers. Either that or black. Then again, I did the exact same gold on my stock calipers and it looked decent. I dunno, just ditch the red lettering, if you really want the lettering to be in a different colour, do it in black. Black on gold will look sick. ---

jlee: just get some fine grid sand paper and clean off the red paint on the letters… Make then a clean silver without paint… then it will look prime… ---

were all staring close up at a decent caliper…When their on the car with wheels they will look like a million bucks…i bet 1/10 people would have sucha interest in getting up that close to check out a painted caliper behind a wheel…It looks great…but what colours the car? cars silver/grey/black id have a black caliper with silver lettering etc etc that gold colour will go well with quite a few body colours. ---

The car’s black with 350z track edition rims… i guess if it doesn’t look good, i can always sand it all off and do it in another colour. Jon ---

as for what enzo said, I agreed untill you said you had 350 wheels, the brakes might be a little small, the GTR ones would fit in there nicely, plus the aluminum ones have a better feel to them (clean and simple casting). But yeah, the brakes will look much better behind a wheel. Here are mine, I had them powder coated and then scraped the letters with a file to get a nice ‘brushed’ look, and am going to apply a thin layer of high heat clear to the letters. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/Theo23/Parts%20For%20Sale/Z32%20Brakes/41807b69.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v641/Theo23/Parts%20For%20Sale/Z32%20Brakes/41807b69.jpg) ---
