Black.
Go for the classic- RED

"Join the darkside!" BLACK
Don't do it! You can't afford to lose all the HP!
Thinking of paintin' the calipers. Silver Ep with the HFP/GFX kit:
Just wondering I saw at a local shop they had caliper paint but it was a little pricey. I just would engine paint do the same job for less money?
painted mine gold
Got that idea from Mugen:

Actually, I was going to paint my friends' Wolfsburg Jetta's calipers as well and we had decided on gold for that car. Could save a few pennies and use the same paint on the EP.
Hmmm....Not feeling the gold.
Try picking up some VHT Caliper paint at your local Pepboys or Autozone. It's ~$8.00 for one can (all you need).
I have pics of mine painted silver (On a Silver EP as well) if you're interested.

I would like to see that. I would think they would just blend in bad.Originally posted by oogy-boogy

I think painting the calipers are a waste of time and money. That's just me. I was thinking of painting it before too, but after thinking about it, doing so is to much trouble.
Still, my choices are:
1. red
2. silver
3. black
4. stock color
5. gold
6. yellow
BTW, I didnt vote.
I've painted mine Red and they look very good:)

did u remove the calipers or did it the ghetto style and spray into a cup and paint it?
keep forgetting to ask u, how did u get your rota grid without a polished lip?
Well, first off - I did not like how it looked sprayed. The thickness / consistancy just wasn't there. I tested it on a few parts I had. I ended up sanding and cleaning the rotors and calipers with brake cleaner. I brushed 2 coats on everything and it came out great. It's a little more time consuming but it goes on thicker with a brush. I wouldn't recommend the spray method IMO.Originally posted by raiyo

Using brush is SOO much better than Spraying.
4 coats.
