I think red calipers look nice but maybe only in sports cars? What about a pickup?
ThisIf you like them, not much else matters...go for it!
Does brake fluid damage the paint once you paint them.How about painting them silver? I hate the way they look when they rust and would consider silver to be the go-to color of choice if I just want them to look nice without being "race car red".
I painted the front calipers in my Cobalt silver and it was a good 10+ years before they started showing any hint of rust.

For sure! Those are worse than painting the drums red.Just as long as you don't do the super poser caliper covers.
Yes. I called the POR-15 people about their paint and while they said brake/parts cleaner is fine and won't hurt the paint, brake fluid will. I don't make a habit of spilling brake fluid on my calipers so I don't care.Does brake fluid damage the paint once you paint them.

I like a blue color. I think VW had a blue caliper it looked nice.
That's true, but there's a downside as well. The paint adds unsprung weight which can often affect the ride quality and handling, and the paint, if not properly applied, can upset airflow around the wheels and hurt mileage or range.They add hp to any car

Not too much, I hope ...Paint adds enough unsprung weight to effect the ride …
I need more time on that thought …
