(Yeah I got rice hahaha)Gotta say the 8 buck ebay decals look really nice and blingy.......Just need to go back and clean up some overspray on the pads now after my shoddy late night masking job.

Doesn't make em work any better! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41344-brake-calipers-painted/page/5/#findComment-866221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recon it looks awesome :banghead: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41344-brake-calipers-painted/page/5/#findComment-868002 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has their own opinion, I sprayed my calipers red, is it because I want them to look like brembos? no, its because my car is red and I think they look good on it. I've also got an XR8 bonnet, does that mean I wish I had a Boss V8 under the hood? no, that would be going backwards its just personal taste.

SAPNEN Donating Members 278 Member For: 17y 1m 19d Gender: Male Posted 03/05/09 08:56 AM Share Posted 03/05/09 08:56 AM My ute is conquor (dark blue) and I chose red for my brake calipers as I rekon it looks sh*t hot, too hard to try and paint match blue etc ALSO as my turbo badges are red and I have them on the front just behind the front wheels and stuff. Each to their own, I like to be induvidual and try to keep suttle differences between my ute and some other random XR6 T on the street!

Didn't come up half bad After upgrading the fronts to DBA I left the backs stock for a while and they were terrible. When the fronts were biting and doing all the work the backs may as well not have been there. I.B.
