Never seen painted calipers. Not on any original equipment. Have never seen any engineering drawings that specify red being included on calipers either. Will be interesting to see what gets posted regarding this subject.


The only time I have seen painted calipers is on cars in Chrysler sales/promotional videos. Have not seen any on actual cars in 30+ years in this hobby.





Complete video can be seen here; calipers are at the 8:33 mark.

Yes Alan, I've seen this video as well as pics over the decades of the promotional/pre production pics showing painted calipers, I thought I had a factory drawing/print showing painted calipers but I haven't located it yet (then again I have a few thousand to look though!)...there's lots of factory prints that clearly show ideas or changes that never made it past the drawing board or died in pre production, I would think painting calipers on line probably turned out to be a bad idea after seeing how slopply the drums were done, I could see line inspectors having concern for calipers/pads/rotors caked with paint causing problems

I did post a factory caliper print on Moparts a long while ago that mentioned a red/Orange caliper on IIRC a HD/performance application in place of the "standard" caliper...I'll be dammed if I can locate it on my puter
