Last week I received an e-mail from Mike at Hiller Ford, he had purchased 2 brake caliper paint kits with the intention of darkening up our existing blue…
“Hi Guys, received my black and blue caliper paint kits, can I use a plastic syringe to draw the paint from the cans, my intent is to draw 1ml out of the blue and replace it with 1ml of black, stir and check the color, repeating equal amount draws until I achieve the desired dark blue, when I obtain the acceptable shade I will then add the hardner, this should result in the correct ratio, am I missing anything?”
For those of you following along at home, this is a great way to completely customize your brake calipers. You can mix and match brake caliper kits to come up with a color that is all your own. Mike was trying to come up with a slightly darker blue that matched the Ford logo.
Looking at the the pictures below it looks like he did a great job…

After…

Wheel on…

I can’t tell you how many e-mails I get asking me which color brake caliper paint should be used on which color car, or which color Engine paint should be used as an accent color. The thing is… I don’t know. To be honest no one knows, it’s a matter of aesthetics… It all comes down to personal choice. There may be someone out there who thinks purple calipers look great on a lime green car! Hey who are we to judge?
So if you want to know how a specific color is going to look on your car… I can offer an opinion, but that’s all it will be simply an opinion. By the way… For the record I would never put purple calipers on a lime green car! If you want an opinion please feel free to e-mail me at billh@g2usa.com and I’ll be more than happy to offer mine.
A better route would probably be to request a sample of the colors you are interested in. We offer sample swatches of all available colors at no cost, so you can actually see what the color will look like on your car. If you would like a sample request sent out, once again all you have to do is e-mail me at billh@g2usa.com and let me know which colors you are interested in and what your mailing address is and I’ll have some samples mailed out to you!
So what are you waiting for? Get your samples today! Even better yet… While you are waiting for your samples to arrive… Why not become a member of our new G2 Performance Styling Products Car Club? Becoming a member is absolutely FREE, and couldn’t be simpler. All you have to do to is request membership and submit pictures of your ride with either our High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set or our High Temperature Engine Paint System Set to be featured on our website.
