    Just my .02, but don't do red...go different.

    I'm a chick, but I did the caliper purple and the bracket silver. 2 tone really makes it pop I think.

    What about....orange?

    This is the paint I used, it looks really cool and it kinda shimmers? Others have used it as well and it looks awesome! They are better than your standard red, blues ect.

    Advance Auto Parts: Search Results for duplicolor anodized

    My store had a lot of other colors besides red and blue. Online there is a light teal that looks sharp.


    Mad Monkey used the blue-ish teal and Tlsheff has the red or burgundy that looks pretty neat.

    I'll shush now, it all comes down to your personal preference.

    I used that stuff on my projector shrouds, and turned out awesome. I vote the orange as well... I think that would look sweet.

    Don't paint them??

    (I keep telling myself Im going to paint mine and never do, simply because they are factory brakes. I'll paint them once I have F-Body brakes up front)


    But as far as color, (I also have a white car with plasti-dipped rims) I think Orange would look great. That or gold.

    White is an option.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
