Painted my brake calipers orange today, took about 3 hours in total with a lot of jokes and fun haha. Took around 10 minutes to mask and tape the rear brakes as they are quite intricate and I wanted to take my time. Disassembling brakes for paint was easy with a quick you tube vid. I used VHT Caliper paint and used some high temp clear coat to finish off the car. 3 coats of each paint. Tell me what you think :)

That’s a nice color. Goes well with the stock side marker.

Never thought about it but you're right.

I went with blue to match the lugs and sick of red.

I did paint my Murano orange to match the exterior. :)

If you can track down and find the European optional orange accent painted exterior parts the calipers would blend in nicely. Definitely something different. I like it!

Not the exact orange factory option available to the rest of the world except for us a.k.a. “orange pack” but here’s the red pack parts that you can paint orange. These part numbers should be available at your Honda dealer tho. Front under spoiler: 08F01-TEA-180 rear under spoiler: 08F03-TEA-180 side under spoiler: 08F04-TEA-180 Black/red optional wheel 08W18TEA100A may be discontinued tho.

I had the dealership paint my Brake Calipers red before I took ownership of the car. I didn't want to risk doing it my self and potentially get some over spray on the car, or the paint job turning out completely crap

So I had my parts manager at the autobody I work at look up these peices, almost 1,000 for the set in red, 3000 for the orange pack. for this kind of money I would go with aftermarket downforce solutions items (look them up, pretty badass company) and toss them on. I really apreciate the work you've done so far for me :) I am going to most likely order the downforce solution set for around 750$ and have my painters give me that fresh paint job! thanks again :)

Yep for $3k you might as well throw in some wheels with that kind of money.
