Curious to see if anyone has painted their break calibers on the Sport. I'm trying to figure out if I want to do red or blue (to match the RS line)

I haven't done mine yet, but I plan on it in the spring. I will likely paint them gloss black (or possibly red)

If you do yours, post it up.

I'm planning to paint my calipers before too long. I'm planning to use the G2 paint, since it worked very well on a previous vehicle I owned, but I'm torn between red and black. When I think of performance brakes, I think red calipers generally, but I'm concerned that it's going to be a little too much and may clash. I'm likely going to go with black, since it's a safe choice and complements a variety of colors, but I'm open to suggestions.

A few members have painted them. I know Matt went with red on his black FS and another member did blue on his magnetic gray FS.

MGP makes great caliper covers but they don't have one to fit the sport model because of the larger front brakes. These covers are first class,come in many different colors with and without logos and are very simple to install. I had them on my Kia Optima SX and they looked great. I called MGP and a tech stated that they were looking into covers for the sport and they would get back to me if they were going to make them. They cover all the other Fusion models but the front calipers on the sport model are very close to the wheels and this is what the problem is. I will post up if he calls back to say they are going to make them.

I would be interested in matching the blue of my body color to my calipers. I'm guessing this will be tough to do.

Here is another option for basic colors.

POR-15® Caliper Painting Kit

I use their Engine Paint Kits and rust preventive coating paint and it's been great.

Well then, that's the end of that chapter.

Awesome.

I've highly considered painting mine black, with a white Ford logo or similar on them...

CARID seems to be offering them for the Sport with 19" wheels. They state that a 3mm spacer must be used. $199.

Painted Calipers

I hand painted the calipers on my 06 Mustang GT during a tire rotation. Used Dupli-color Kit, it came with cleaning solution and a couple brushes. Not a great job, but certainly worth it. The paint did get nicked up a bit over time. I looked, and I can't find a picture of the calipers after the paint job. I went with the paint kit because I wanted bright yellow on a black car.

I'm driving a Blue Lightning not sure what color to do the brakes, blue, red yellow?
Any suggestions? What adds more HP? 😜

For reference I ended up painting my calipers silver, wanting to keep the stock look.
After a winter season in the north they were rusted pretty bad.
Cleaned them up and applied 2 coats of POR 15 silver caliper paint, it started out really bright and metallic looking but
after 6 months it's flattened out.

I used the paint on red caliper paint from the auto parts store

I painted mine, still holding strong 2 years later.

I will be painting mine this summer. Not sure of what color yet. White, blue, or red. On my ST I used Duplicolor Blue as I was going for a NB theme from the RS, loved that color. However, I think I might do white on mine or red. It's been a long time since I've had red ones, and the black wheels will help it pop.

I did mine in "Ford Blue"

Sorry only pic im finding rn

I also plan on painting mine this spring when I do my tire change over. Using a good caliper paint how long are you allowing to dry fully ? Multiple coats ?

I think I'll go with a gloss black since everything on my car is either white or black. Not sure how white would look and it probably would show too much dirt.

I wanted to update my experience.
Do NOT use POR15, it's total crap.
I meticulously cleaned these calipers before I painted them, used 2 coats of paint.
After 1 winter the calipers were rusting through the paint, like bleeding through although is seemed like there
was still plenty of paint.
I sprayed Isopropyl alcohol to try to clean them and it started to dissolve the paint off, literally melted off.
Totally regret not using the G2 paint system, it's most likely an epoxy paint since it's 2 parts and I can imagine way harder
