Brake Caliper Color Ideas - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just picked up 6 piston front brake calipers for my 2010 2SS in inferno orange. Trying to figure out what color to paint them. Also wanted to mention I have black Apex Arc-8 wheels.

If anyone has painted calipers on an inferno orange car post some pictures.

Thanks!

Body color should work well, imho.

With your IOM paint and the black wheels, they would look really nice done in the IOM color for sure. Here is a pic of my calipers powder coated lollipop red to match the Red Jewel my Camaro is.

Here is a pic of an IOM Camaro with black wheels, and orange caliper covers to get an idea, and a pic of a set powder coated in IOM. I had mine dome by Kevin at Madison Coatings 3 years ago, and they still look brand new.

Painted with automotivetouchup brand paint out of the cans and the match is amazing then put the stickers on then 2k clear.

For upside down pics, they look amazing! Nice color match...
