I just got a red S2K, and Honda is going to paint my calipers for me. Any suggestions on what color I should use? There is some awful blue color on them now and it looks pretty bad.
Thanks.

I did mine with the G2-System two-part red, and it was pretty close to the red on the rest of the car, at least while they were clean.
However, the red calipers with the black backing plates behind the pads really emphasize that these are cheap sliding calipers rather than more expensive ones with opposing pistons.
I won't undo it, but I don't think I'd do it if I had it to do over again.

black or silver painted calipers would look best. i might get flamed for this, but i don't think the S calipers are the greatest looking. i personally would draw as little attention to them as possible. again, just my thoughts...

Not the same car but I posted pics of my last car that I did the calipers on. It was a red mr-s and I painted the calipers black with red "spyder" decals. It looked pretty good imo. Here is a link to the thread https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...088#post1685088

Go with red to match the body.
