So all right now I cleaned the car in and now and did some body work myself but I always was turned off at the ugly rust that seats on the calipers and rotors so after some research I found a product called evaporust so after getting the rust off I am planning putting some high temperature paint. My question is what color should I paint the calipers and rotors? I know the deal about manly colors as black and grey but I see other offerings of blue, red, gold, yellow- the car is pearl white. Mine you that I am a man and not a woman so girly colors like pink are out of the question.

Just get a big brake kit please. The painted calibers arent to good looking but if you must, paint them whatever color you like. I had mine painted at one time but i had to keep getting them painted because of cracking. They say it is high temperature proof but thats a lie!

That is another reason to get on with this project by painting them I will prevent rust and not just for looks. It is terrible to look at rusting parts. What about going on a date and she looks at it- it just makes me feel dirty.

Yes, you can see them. I have Stoptechs and you can most definitely see the center and the surround of the rotor. They will rust and tarnish over time. If you have nice wheels, and a BB kit on your car, why would you want to see rust? That's why you paint them. See the black surround exposed behind the wheel?

yeah, girls pay attention to detail...so maybe if the date doesnt notice the rust..then the date isnt a "she"

girls like shiny things..not rusty things lol
