    Caliper colors

    Opinions? Thinking of having my calipers done. These are some Photoshop roughs. I think the finished product would be deeper and have a high temp clear coat.

    The original:

    I like the original the best, but out of the other options, blue would get my vote.

    Original

    But if you must...blue

    You could go Ricer and use the carbon fiber paint kit. It comes with two brake cooling vents that sick on to the front fenders

    Painting or powder coating?

    I used the G2 system on my truck (red) came out great. I am doing my camaro body color (ashen gray metallic).

    The G2 can color match any paint code for $99

    I would say go body color on yours

    I agree with Ryan....G2 is good stuff!
    Color match or just black and do the rotor hats while you are in there.

    Black is not a color, it's a part time job!

    what accent colors do you have now, besides dirt, haha?

    Red would also look nice with your color

    yes, black is nice when you have baby boring brakes... IMO if you have BBK you need to show them off.

    Dirt. Ha!

    I had just put on my wheels when I took that picture.

    I will probably go with the red.
