Looking for opinions on what color I should go with painting my brake calipers. And what are some other parts y’all painted to make stand out little more?

Paint 'em to match the truck (if white?) or black. TBH I think painting OEM calipers like we have on the F150 is lame. Wanna spruce it up, get some aftermarket wilwoods or something. That's bling factor (and better braking)
Add fender flares!

I think red would be your best choice honestly.

I went with caliper covers on mine. Contrary to what some may say, they do not effect braking and do not cause the brakes to overheat. I think it’s a nicer look than just painting the calipers and they also keep most of the brake dust off of your wheels.



Please excuse the dirt. I’m in Tennessee and as you all know, we’ve had some “weather” here this week!

Big NO on caliper covers. Don't hide real brakes with fake brakes...that's RICE.

Not brakes at all, just covers that keep the dust off my shiny rims. Don't like them, don't buy them and keep your opinions to yourself if you have nothing nice to say.
