Do you guys think that painted the brake calipers and drums red would look good?

 

I think it looks best in the original color

 

I think some one on here already painted theirs red.. I remember seeing it in another thraed

 

Will be doing RED on my White LX this coming week. Will post pics.

 

Make sure to clean the caliper really well, remove the rubber boots or tape them off.

 

I did mine in blue when first got the car. Added blue vinyl H logo as well.


This year got these wheels and re-painted calipers and drums in black

 

I' say brake caliper color depends on the color of the car and what "look" you're going for. While we all may give our input on what looks good and what doesn't, it is ultimately your car and you get to make the decision and suffer the ridicule if it looks dumb or bask in our praises and compliments if it looks good.

 

I painted calipers red a couple days after purchase, before they got dirty. Will be painting the drums flat black (they're already black). Personally think red-DRUMS might look a little tacky (REDRUM!!). I used DupliColor brush-on paint kit I bought at PepBoys. Sorry no pics with wheels on as I have stock=steelys/hub caps so there's nothing to see till I get some wheels



More PICS in my "CALIPER PAINT" folder, link below

Unofficial Honda FIT Forums - cheesewhiz's Album: Caliper Paint
Please reserve judgement till AFTER I get some wheels! LOL!

 

Did mine last night. Used Dupli-Color BCP100 Red Brake Caliper Aerosol - 12 oz. From Amazon for $9.11. There still is half a can left. Should cover 2 more calipers. Maybe I'll do my wife's Lexus after!!!!
Honda heat resistant sticker is from Ebay.

Some over-spray but its all hidden with the wheels installed.

OP, let us know what you decide to do and post pics.

 

How about zombie green with international orange polka dots?

Don't forget the "Brembo" stickers! "Lockheed" if you're old skool.

 

i'm fan of red or yellow

 

Here's some PICs with red .... finally got some wheels.

 

I think painted calipers look good if you have brembos or something like that. It looks sort of bad on normal base brakes IMO.

 

Gotta admit they look great in contrast with the silver wheels!!! Good job!!!

 

Really wondering how Red Calipers with the EX Modern Steel Color.

Maybe do red Calipers with red i-vtec stickers? not sure..

 

Not a huge fan of painted caliPers when they're as small as the Fit's are, but I do agree it can add a little something. If you like it OP go for it, don't wait for our approval. It's your car, not ours.

 

You are way out of control .... sooooo jealous!!

 

That would look awesome with the grey. There's really no point in any of this but that it looks "better", Like women with no bra, nipples pokin' through ... details are cool!

And it's fun! Live while you're still livin' ... sleep when you're dead!

 

Did you paint the rear drums red? Oh, and hows that magnetic nose?

 

I plan on doing red next spring when I buy new rims
