    what color should i paint my calipers

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    i'm thinking either black or red, i have a dolphin grey B6 and i'm going to be putting better rotors on soon and have been thinking to paint the calipers black and put the audi rings on it also in silver (small vinyl sticker). I would apreciate it if people gave me input on this. I'm doing this mainly because it protects the caliper from getting that nasty rust looking color, correct me if i'm wrong.

    that actually could be sick, with audi rings in black. Now i think silver or black, what would look best behind black rims once i hopefully get them

    I'm not sure what kind of contrast you're looking for, but i think a black with silver rings will look good if you have a dolphin grey with RS4 wheels.

    Another thing to mention is whether you get mesh or 5 spoke type wheels. a mesh will hide the small rotors compared to the 5 spoke where it just screams "BBK!!". good luck in your decision

    the black caliper is not even going to be seen if he goes with a black centered wheel...

    Either silver or black, all depends on the rims you plan on getting. I went with black, really happy with that look.

    personally that's the whole reason i would paint them silver... why draw a shitload of attention to those dinky little guys... just a little peep from them would be good enough...

    if you were rocking some big ass 4,6 or 8 piston Brembos, Alcon, or Stoptechs then i could see going red, but not a stock A4 caliper...
