Model 3 - post your painted calipers!!

[hirtaza]

Just picked up my Model 3 MSM and looking to get my brake calipers painted (was thinking of going with Acid Green) as not alot of people have it…which led me to think about other colors people might have opted for.

Feel free to post your painted calipers below: would love to see what people got

I haven't done anything yet but I would like to go orange. Like the same orange as the wire sheaths.

Like copper orange? What color do you have on your model 3? I feel like that will look amazing (different as well) on black M3…im getting the acid green done…ive a picture in my head on how they might look…hopefully they turn out that way (risky color for sure)

I just did Duplicolor graphite. Held up through a lot of autocross and hot temperatures. Bought performance calipers on EBay and they were chipped up badly so needed something. I think there’s some other threads with pictures of you search/scroll for a while.

Did mine in orange because....who wants to be red when every other person has red?

I am planning on doing a dark copper color on my graphite S. Hope it looks as good as it does in my mind.

Anyone in Los Angeles area have a good location to get the calipers painted?

What rear spoiler is that?

Red, I may be standard, but I like it.

Those are caliper covers that you painted, not calipers…

Anyone who did this a while ago have comments on regret or durability issues? I got a stealth P3D- after my P3D+ was totaled and miss the look of the red brakes. I keep going back and forth on painting them or just leaving them as is...

painted mine with the VHT caliper paint about six months ago. No signs of anything coming off or discoloring, they still look nice and I have ZERO regrets.

I had my caliper covers powder coated in shocker green, more durable than paint IMO

Green is the way to go!

I’m really liking this orange. Looks amazing!

What do you think would be the best color calipers for the metallic blue?

It really depends on your taste! I have a blue also with 19 sport wheels powder coated matte black. I'm thinking gold, yellow, bronze, and ivory red can work nicely.

Here’s my results for the yellow caliper powder coated
