Has anyone done this? Just bought my Mazda3 Hatchback and was lookin' to quickly get rid of that stock dealership look. Getting tinted windows tomorrow. If anyone has pics of this look or any other color combo for that matter, post em up =).

I did mine red. I have black Rumson my speed. On our celestial blue we color matched the rotors blue.

Here's two pics. One of the front rotor and then a shot of what they look like on the car.

When. I had the gold bbs on my sti my calipers were also gold but it looked better when I got black wheels.

Sweet. I want to black out most my stuff on my Mazda, but I figured I could at least do a little accent color with the calipers.

Use Dupli-Color. Its probably the best you can get without going professional

i just plastidipped my rims so i could take it off later. my friend has duplicolored his winter wheels on his VW and that came out like oem finish. and i think most people have gotten caliper paint

I used the G2 kit on mine. My friend used a cheaper brand (can't remember which one) and his are chipping bad!!

 

[Rherold9]

I say yes. Black wheels plus gold calipers would look sweet. Or gold wheels and black calipers.

 

[hyjnx]

or black hats and gold trousers! lol

 

[oohyeah]

Plasti dip for rims, easy to do and take off and yes G2 for the calipers

So i got the plasti dip done on my stock rims and it makes my ride look great. I'm definitely going to go the gold route for my calipers. I'll keep y'all updated. Lemme know what ya think

Haha nice. Next for me (hopefully) is lowering, SRI, and exhaust.

My tint is 15% but i wish I got a little bit darker. I mean, it works well, but I guess having an all black car with black interior, it doesn't seem like it's that dark.

lol I know that feeling. I used to have 5%, got really used to it, and got pulled over after close to a year and had to change it to 15%. Just stick with it lol night driving was really hard to get used to with the 5.

Anyway, I like black on black, paint the calipers! Gold or red I think.

Well everyone has red calipers so I think I'm going with the gold. Maybe once i make my 'evil M', I'll either paint that black or gold to do a little accenting on the car. Decisions decisions
