It's pretty much the rule w/ big "showy" calipers to have the brand emblazoned on them such as Brembo, Stoptech, Wilwood, etc. Having Nissan or Infiniti on them doesn't make the same statement

I feel like red or blue is too mainstream and played out. Silver or bronze is always a nice choice.

JPS... What colour yellow is that exactly that you did???..... Thats pretty close to what I want to do... it's the yellow colour that's after the copper/bronze and before the royal blue colour.
Any help in colour direction would be appreciated.... thanks

Just a question to those who have rebuilt and painted your calipers. Did you guys bench bleed the brake MC or use a vacuum tool?

Oh, and welcome to the forum! I'm honored to be quoted in your very first post here.

Hey There:

With regards to the blue callipers that you did.... It's the colour I want to do my
calipers..... Youused Ford Blue VHT paint.... Is it caliper VHT or just regular mixed VHT in a Ford Blue colour?

Thanks my Friend,

Nick Zarafonitis
