Thread: caliper paint color

Well I got my gxp calipers in the mail yesterday. One brand spankin new and the other used from a junk yard. While I'd love to keep them as is one of them is staved up a bit and needs repainting. Should I keep them red? What color would look good on my car.

Here's a pic of the calipers:

Chime in guys and gals.

Keep it red. Black and red always looks good.

I was thinking about doing a metallic red on all of the calipers. The duplicolor metalcast red looks good.

I think the red on black would look nice.. But.. you would need to do something about the other two calipers or it will look off..

Nice EV5's too.

Those wheels and calipers are, excuse gotta wipe the drool, gorgeous!

Yellow looks gorgeous on black, imo.
Red looks good too.

Thats a hard decision....

Ugh, that pic of the Lambo makes me want yellow............

I'm trying to find a picture of the new CTS-V coupes that come black on black with yellow calipers... f*cking sexy dude.

Like that?

ya know, i was thinking i'd do red on mine someday, as i have a black car, but the yellow looks to be the way to go.

back in the day we built up a 327 and dropped it into a 70 chevelle we wound up painting the block red and the heads yellow, it was different but everyone liked it a lot, so maybe ill go with that color when i do my engine build. and carry the yellow around the car some, not much, just enough, no over kill, i think you could easily go to far. yellow calipers and maybe a yellow pinstripe around the rim, and that would be it for the outside. well with the yellow anyways.

^^^**** yes^^...
i would drive the **** out of that

I vote yellow and get a yellow arrowhead inlay. Or red/silver but both have been done so many times...so be different go yellow!!

do yellow dude. if you do red ima come up there and smack you. and yes i know where you live!!! lol

Quick photoshop:

DO IT.... but maybe if you could do the GXP lettering in black, that would look better

That looks awesome! Especially if you an do it in that metallic color

do it. black GXP lettering
