Guys,

I am wrapping up my 4 month long suspension restoration and brake upgrade on the 280. I picked up my 280zx rear calipers today and I am in limbo on what to do. I want to paint them so they don't look like crap in 4 months. I need help in deciding what color to paint them...

Brembo gold: I like the color frankly but don't want people thinking I am a dbag:cool: for doing that. If you rolled up on a guy with a 280z and his calipers were painted Brembo gold, would you think he is a douche?

Red: (See Brembo gold) only the stereotype could be worse.:finger:

Black: eh?

Yellow: Not on a silver car IMHO.

Cast color paint: I like this idea too, keeps them looking fresh without saying "hey look at my brake calipers!"

I intend on having 16" Rota RBR's in hyperblack by the end of the year so I want something that will jive with my wheel choice and color.

What is everyone's thought on this?

IMHO, I would go with a red or high temp clear on them. I like the look of red calipers, i don't think people would look down on you for your color choice unless it was like lime green or something. Just dont slap some brembo stickers on them and you'll be fine. Clearing them with a high temp clear looks good as well. Mine are painted a high temp aluminum color which gives it a clean look.
