pirate, i MAY have a GOLD foliatech brake caliper paint kit for sale if my brother decides to paint his calipers to another color. we got it cuz it looked subtle yet style, and i guess for a brembo look, but we may go silver calipers. if your'e interested, let me know and i'll ask him if he wants to sell.

whatever you do, just get rid of the green - that stands out way too much. like everyone else has said, paint them red (but a dark red) or black. i don't think the Accord banner looks too bad, but might look better if you had more done to your car. anyways, good luck with it......it reminds me of my car when i first started.....

Of course... I would hope there's a few people around here that can think for themselves.

A gunmetal color would look good with your color. It would be subtle yet noticable if someone knew what to look for.

Well thats good to know since i am just starting on this, only had the thing for a few months....

I wanna paint it black or dark metallic i cant explain blue, or of course the white with the CF hood, many dont like that but i think it looks good...dont know how good it looks on an accord though. But i dont have the money to get a good enough paint job, so i am trying to work with this color, and it makes me mad cuz the only thing that really goes is crome, i really dont like THAT much chrome, i mean take rims, what color would i have to get? chrome lol, i wanna do some 17 gunmetal TSW's, but no money there either...AHHHHHH

Gotta talk myself into savin for a new clutch, before this one dies

i wonder if they used a true caliper painting kit or if that's just heat resistant spray. i learned through others that the real paint kits are worth every dollar. (the 2 part kits with the reactant and paint ... they make a nice, thick, glossy finish)

i know he shaved the calipers down first to create a smoother, cleaner surface.
