Hey all,

With all these many recent brake caliper thread posts lately and nice weather yesterday...wanted me to paint my brake calipers (red) too based on Dale's write-up (thanks!). Sorta' curious how it would look w/o dremel-ing off the Mazda logo so i decided to paint logo fully...heh, I think I will dremel it off.

BEFORE


AFTER

 

Nice job

 

Looks good. The red is a nice accent color for you car.

 

Hit that mazda logo with some sand paper and you'll be good to go

 

doesnt look bad at all - its always good to see another clean cym

 

looks good, just grind off that mazda part and you're good to go.

 

Is it me, or even tho i own a rx7 even time i see a rx7 i'm like " o **** a nice *** car"

 

not just you, i am like that too.
heres my brakes, sitting for a while though pardon the rust and never driven on since paint so its not wore even yet.

 

oh yea, I polished the heads of the dowel pins and cleared them.

 

looks good

 

something about red calipers on a yellow 7!

 

You ever consider cover up everything but the lettering and painting the lettering white or another color? I saw it on another FD and it looked awesome.

 

My buddy has a white FD w/ painted black calipers + white Mazda logo...it's hot!

The blue calipers above is awesome...very nice color.

Thanks for everyone's comments...it was either black or red calipers but I figure red would make the color contrasty and a subtle 3rd color introduction (yellow primary and black secondary).

 

Yah, I will grind off so I'll have a nice silver Mazda logo. Looks nicer.

 

Mine were black with the mazda logo in white

 

I agree and seriously think you should consider painting the lettering as well. It's alot of work but it'll look awesome.

 

I know there are a million threads on this...but which paint did you finally decide to go with?

 

i painted my lettering, its a bad pic, but its white. the blue calipers on the last page.

 

looks good
