Default Colored Brake Calipers for Honda S2000

I know some folks have painted their brake calipers with different colors for better look. I'm wandering instead of painting factory calipers, has anyone just replaced their caliper with aftermarket calipers which has already been painted. If so, where to get a good deal?

painted? most aftermarket big brake caliper are andonized or powdercoated.

if you going for the look, then, it a royal waste of money.

there's a some caliper cover if too, there's a carbon fiber unit and there's a fake plastick nissin spoon caliper cover, again, if it's your thing, go for it.

just paint it if i were you, but again, painting stock caliper to red/yellow/blue is never my cup of tea(well, it was the shizzle back in the rice day)


BUT if you have your heart setted for painting at least do it right, tape up the hose, bleed nipple, bolt and take it off pad before you do, if you don't it looks like you dip the whole caliper in paint bucket.

you have a 30k car, don't mess it up with little sh-tty detail

BBK is the only way to go on this I think, but it's a lot of $$ for just the look. Painting is the way to go IMO.
