So I am thinking about painting my brake calipers. Not sure what color I wanna do though. What do you guys think? Below is a picture of my car color with same wheels but is not my actual car. Although mine has a chrome grille and a dark window tint all the way around. I will put my pics up eventually.



So what color should I go? I don't want anything too flashy. Just classy. Also does anyone have any paint recommendations? Thanks.

I was looking at this kit. http://g2usa.com/index.shtml Not sure what color yet. Give me some opinions please.

Well I found a site that shows the colors of the caliper paint. Here it is. http://paceperformance.com/ind...age=1

I am totally lost on what to choose. Just tell me what you think. I have a few in mind but I don't wanna say and sway what you guys think yet.

Red FTW. Gives the most pop without looking obnoxious - plus it's probably the best color match for your car. Blue, yellow, orange, green, etc...wouldn't go very well with the exterior color of the car.

The G2 kit is the best out there - don't get anything else. I used the duplicolor kit 2 times and both times it starts to flake off after 2-3 months...

I went with G2 Black. It will look really good but also not stand out a whole lot. I am going for a really classy look and not a ricey look. If I dont like it I will redo it but someone on another site photoshopped black and red on my car and black looked better IMO. Thanks

lol. Ya alot of people on the other forum said red also. But someone then posted a bunch of photoshopped pictures with all different colors and black looked the best if I think about the chrome grille and dark tint. It was hard to envision what it would look like until he photoshopped them. And red just stuck out more than I wanted.
