Is it simply a matter of getting red paint (special stuff for the heat) and painting the caliper? I have been wanting red calipers for ages but thought you might have to buy them.

 

Yes, I think that's all there is to it. A while ago there were a few threads describing how people have done it: there might be some hints as to how to get a good durable finish.

hahahaha fierce rivalry in our relationship...personally though standard look suits me better!!!

 

Welcome to my church! :D

 

 

Amen. There's nothing much better than the standard Toyota 202 black really. Give it a decent polish and it looks as good as anything else out there :)

As for black I see 2 problems:

 

1. Everyone has it.

 

2. Despite it being a good colour, it doesn't stand out as much as bright primary colours. I know people 'claim' they don't aim to stand out but clearly if that was the case they would be driving a focus or something. If your going to do it go for a colour that stands out.... reds, blues etc

I disagree, silver is the most common Supra colour, not black. I think it does stand out, it looks stunning in black, I have owned a few different colour Supra's, but nothing compliments the Supra like black does, especially when it is well polished etc, it looks gleaming and stands out a mile.
