painting calipers red with black rims.

[dsk6320]

I was planning on ordering red caliper covers from mgp so it would tie in with the red fx4 logo and front tow hooks once they get painted red (after maverick finally gets built)

On their website the covers for bronco sport won't fit 17" wheel, they have to be 18" or larger so sadly that will prob be the same case with the maverick

I have 20's but the price for those feels outragous. I mean I was to consider them vs a G2 custom color than maybe the jump is ok. But right now a kit can be $30-40 for something close color wise so its hard to choose them.

Has anyone with a Black maverick or other color thought about painting brake calipers red with the black rims? I did that with my mustang but wondering about the MAV. Good or bad idea?

If that’s what turns you on, go ahead and do it.

As soon as I picked up my F.E.R.R. my eyes were drawn to the shinny metal calipers and I knew I needed to do something about it. The Rapid Red in person is a RICH DEEP red, so it was important to me to be subtle and not take away from the truck itself. I decided to order from G2 USA and do a color match (D4). This was the 1st time for me to paint calipers and it was a bit of work (3 coats), but nothing overly complicated. I was very pleased that the actual color turned out even deeper then the truck and accomplished the subtle affect that I wanted.

That's a great looking maverick Gary. The red calipers are a really nice touch.

I think they look great.

I think you should do it.

Thank you Keaton and Glen, it worked out well and I think it looks good too

If done properly, it'll look great.
