tooquicktostop Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Do a search on BPU, best power upgrade for your money, you can paint your calipers there is lots of paint colours about at Halfords etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 You can paint the calipers, several people on here have done it with good results. Use the proper paint though, you can't just crack open a tin of Dulux! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgtX80 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I used red hammerite, way cheaper than the caliper painting kits & just lasts for a LONG time, resistant to high temperature, water etc, still as bright as the day i painted it, just gotta keep the calipers clean.

Nic Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Can i get calipars to replace in a red or blue etc?? Any help much appriciated! Which brakes do you have fitted? The Supra came with 2 options, the smaller 2 pot front/1 pot rear and the larger 4 pot front/ 2 pot rear. The most popular and cost effect upgrade is to fit the larger brakes.

stevie_b Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Ahh, that explains where I went wrong;) What colour did you go for? "Corn field", or "morning dew" maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
