themodifiedkid Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Ive got a white supra and fairly recently have painted the calipers white, with black decals and imho they look really good, I have got black alloys tho with a polished lip which all complement each other perfectly. Ow i also used smooth white hammerite paint and its spot on, not had any trouble with the paint peeling etc. Go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreaseMonkey Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Heres two on white supra's. One is with red uk calipers (I know, cliche)with supra logo in white with black underline. And one with white uk calipers. Like themodifiedkid said, I have also used hammerite (both spray and brush) paint on my calipers and not had an issue.

ClaireRZ-S Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 BLACK! jesus ur mad for whipping me aint ya White callipers are going to be a nightmare to keep clean I would colour match the rims and use standard decals or graphite grey again with standard decals. White will look chav and will not compliment the car, only an opinion. I also like the crinkle paint that Ryan G has used on his cam covers that would look good. Hmm yeah i thought that but when the pics went up it doesn't look too bad. I love your street, it's very USA looking thanks Heres two on white supra's. One is with red uk calipers (I know, cliche)with supra logo in white with black underline. And one with white uk calipers. Like themodifiedkid said, I have also used hammerite (both spray and brush) paint on my calipers and not had an issue. Yeah i really like the white still i think red will stand out too much and wont fit into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooColdToDrive Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hey Claire, I'd go with gold/yellow to offset/bring out the wheels I'm actually in the same dilemma - but it's always easier to make the decision for someone else, eh? ;P What color would you go on on a silver supra with chrome wheels? I was thinking blue... (sorry for thread hijackery ;P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomssupra Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 black... white will last 5 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Gloss Black with some new logo's I think Gordon F was able to supply these, but that was some time ago. Bright calipers are a bit Max Power, less is more sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Black with a bronze logo would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnnie Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I suggest Blue like Endless Calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 that sounds quite nice actually Cheers I have my moments, I just think it sit well against the colour of the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireRZ-S Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 I think bronze would be too much against my wheels and you wouldnt see it as my wheels are bronze. I'm thinking brembo gold anyone know where i'd get this colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Lovely looking car. Calipers: Think White would look silly and chavvy for the reasons mentioned. I would go either Black OR a similar colour to the wheels. Decals: If you go Black then either go White or Gold. IF you go the colour of the wheels, then go for white. BTW: I have a set of TRD decals that you can have (they are in white) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I know a lot of people that have used hammerite on their callipers it smells to start off with for a few miles but after its fine and if you paint them nicely they can come out really well!!

TopgunTT Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Gold all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dublin Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Head to B&Q or Woodies etc.... Hammerite smooth finish gold is about a tenner. Remember to get the Hammerite brush cleaner as normal white spirits won't clean your brushes afterwards.

sams Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 id go white mate with gold righting on them they will stand out from your dark alloys and not be in your face, id rather like to see someone look at the car as you got a stunning car, than point there attention straight at bright coloured callipers that dont go against white well but that my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottC Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Looking good. Did you get the stickers of Fleabay? I’ll be interested to know if they can withstand the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireRZ-S Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Looking good. Did you get the stickers of Fleabay? I’ll be interested to know if they can withstand the heat. yup i did one of the guys on here suggested to get them. i put some clear varnish just over the sticker so i guess time will tell to see if they stay on.

Steve A Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 good colour choice behind the wheels , if i was keeping my wheels the same colour thats what i would have chosen. far more sensible than electric orange like i did haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
