Brake Caliper Color Code (sports pkg)

Random Strata · 06-30-2011, 06:13 PM

I've tried searching this on Google and in the forums but I can't seem to find the answer. Does anyone know the color code for the brake calipers?

I know this is my first post and I probably should have done a "Hi my name is Jeff and I'm a Z user" type thing but I find those posts are generally by people who just got their car and are hyper excited. I bought mine over a year ago so I'm just excited.

I've been thinking about painting my wheels either the body color or the caliper color but I'm still unsure on that one. If all else fails I'll probably go with the typical black.

Thanks in advance for any help you throw my way.

..... I'm kidding....but seriously you need to go.

It appears to be something similar to K11.

Or you could just try to buy the same wheels I have. But pretty sure there no longer available stateside.

OH SNAP SON!

Those are some of the nicest wheels on a Z that I've seen thus far. I'm glad they no longer make them, the last thing I need is to spend $2800 right now. But at least now I know it's basically a Gun Metal Black color on the calipers and it looks like sex on the car.

I think this is actually a bit lighter now that I've found a better picture of the k11 paint.

Very possible. I don't think the K11 has a pearl in it either, which the brakes seem to have.

You won't get the actual paint codes from Nissan (they're notorious for not giving things like that out, even for OEM wheels) but an experienced paint place should be able to do a really good match for you.
