i will be painting the calipers this weekend. which color should i go with black or silver ??

[98tadriver]

nice! go with black or red for the calipers!

[Stevoone]

The wheels look good. I would go with red or silver. I think both of them would stand out nice.

[ins0mnia24]

Nice clean looking car..
Those bowtie emblems over top of the Z28 badges is just a little over board with emblems.

[chrisfrom nj]

looks good paint the calipers red

[sweetbmxrider]

do you have a pic of the rear of the car? i wanna see that rear bumper with the ground effects. wheels look great, along with the car. what size tires and wheels? personally, i would do red on the calipers to go with the center cap emblems. get premium rotors from napa and make sure they come painted black so where the pad doesn't contact, it doesn't rust. oh and take the stickers off of the tires :D
like these....cept no slots!

[01blackz28]

I think im gonna go with silver calipers and and eventually im going to get the centercap emblem which is now red silver to go along with the whole black and silver theme. As to the emblems above the decal i like it lol The rims are 17" the tires are 275/40/17. Nitto 555 in the front 555r in the back. Is there anyway i can paint the rotors black or get the rust off of them ???????

[01blackz28]

and the stickers will wear off of the tires lol i just dont drive it much and we have a tire mounting and balancing machine .

[sweetbmxrider]

you could probably sand them down and throw on high temp paint, but i don't know how well it will work. i would wait then and get the painted rotors when the car needs brakes. if you are doing black and silver, then do what you said. i always rip off the stickers, they just look funny going down the road. 8-)

[ins0mnia24]

Por15 works

Well im not going to be needing rotors up front because theyre cross drilled and slotted and from what i hear they last an eternity

Por15 works
Please explain what por15 is brand etc. Im actually putting 4.10s out back this weekend so ill have to paint rotors and calipers.

[sweetbmxrider]

por15 turns rust into black paint/undercoating. Napa carries that too.

read that thread for slotted rotors....not knocking you just passing info!

[BonzoHansen]

Looks good!

[01blackz28]

I didn't do it for stopping better i put them on to stop warping and it actually has. They do cool better which is what i bought them . I give 2 craps if it stops me a meter faster or slower lol

[ins0mnia24]

The POR15 comes in black, semi gloss black, silver , gray ,clear and a few other colors I think..
But they have little starter kits that sell for around $15 and it comes with a metal cleaner,etching agent and a can of the POR15 paint.

[ar0ck]

Looks good but a lowering is what the car really needs! Clean out those fender wells to with some degreaser and a power washer too.

ehhh....did you read it? not trying to ride you and such but its a good read that has a nice link too which explains alot of stuff with the slotted brakes. there could be other reasons why your rotors are warping. calipers, hoses, and pads can each individual warp a rotor. it could also be the materials used in any of the components. but if its works for you, awesome!:-P

[01blackz28]

alright guys im gonna paint the calipers and rotors this weekend and then get some new pics

[WildBillyT]

I wouldn't do a light color on the calipers because it will look bad when brake dust hits it.

Wheels look great. I'd do the calipers in a darker red and ditch the bow ties over the Z28 emblem.

i appreciate your advice. however, im still going with the silver calipers. My idea is if i dont like it ill just repaint them another color for 15$. Its my gut instinct like the rims mmy friends told me not to and i did it and love how they look. As for the bow ties over the emblems im not sure if i should ditch em.

[sweetbmxrider]

maybe do them black with a silver Z28 or bow tie on them?

[maroman88]

im always a fan of black with the polished lip :)

me2 man. i was just down in miami and thats all nice black cars have down there , it really made my final decision.

Sounds like a plan. If upkeep is a bitch, painting them again is not that big a deal.

[98CamaroSS]

I say yea. :nod: Looks great. :-P

[01blackz28]

thanks.. wolfgang you were interested in my 10 spokes i believe. but i sold those for 600 lol

[KirkEvil]

Paint the calipers black and put silver camaro decals on them. ditch the bowtie emblems so it doesnt look overkill

[01blackz28]

ill pass on the camaro decals on the calipers. a bit ricey eh ?

[BlackBADaSS02]

Those wheels look really good. Don't really see them too often.

[01blackz28]

yeah they're pretty new.

[98CamaroSS]

thanks.. wolfgang you were interested in my 10 spokes i believe. but i sold those for 600 lol

Yeah, I bought a new set from SLP now I have the best of both worlds, the factory ZR-1's and the 10-spokes to change at whim. Got to say after 10-years with the ZR-1's the 10-spokes are a welcome change. :nod:

[usp55]

Not every car looks good black on black, but yours looks really good:cheers:

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Looks good! :0)

[creeper]

i love black wheels on camaros. i also love the look of new tires. looks great.

[ta350]

Clean the wheel wells!!!! lol sorry I am so anal about that.

[sweetbmxrider]

hey a guy on ls1tech.com is going to do a powdercoating deal for calipers i think this month. might be a wise investment. he can do the caliper bracket black too. nice touch and very durable! check it out!

[NJ Torque]

nay.

[WayFast84]

nay.

:stupid:

they look too small.

[BigAls87Z28]

Clean the wheel wells and lower the car. Get rid of teh 4x4 look right away.
As for teh rotors, cross drilling is cosmetic only unless you are doing a crap load of racing and the rotors are gunna be real hot.
Calieprs black with maybe coloring the bridge silver...would go a long way with your color combo.

[UnderPressureWS6]

car definitly needs to be lowered :) other than that it looks good!

[CivicEaterLT1]

thoseee are sexy lol

[xrelapse13]

car looks sick, clean as hell.
Maybe do the calipers silver with black brackets?

[Z28Justin]

+1,00000000 and say bye to the 1 random ground effect.

[98Gsxr750]

I like the rims. Since you have the silver z28 badges the silver lip looks good. I would go red on the calipers to match the center caps like bmxrider said.

[DevilDougWS6]

i saw your wheels in person they look great! maybe lower it now? i dont remember looking at the brake calipers though. i did my brackets silver and the calipers red, they look awesome. also hit them with clearcoat, brake dust wipes right off now.

[Mark B]

Absolutely. You definitly should lower it a bit.

[TurboDiverArt]

The wheels look good. I would go with red or silver. I think both of them would stand out nice.

I agree with that one. The black needs some brite color behind them.
