I'm thinking of painting my calipers and would like your recommendation's.
Car is Comp Orange with standard GT base wheels.
Question, should I leave them natural or not?

Feel free to post pics and thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

It really depends on the look you want. Do you want the calipers to be noticeable or less noticeable? I like the look of calipers that stand out, so I decided to paint mine red. I used the G2 Caliper Paint kit. It was pretty simple to do, just time consuming. The red calipers really pop with the black wheels on my car.

How about yellow? I think it would look good. Look at some Porche pics.

Red and yellow seem to be the standard colors these days.

One of my Acura's had black calipers which were awesome until I put black wheels on them. If your into contrast then a bright silver with red or black brembo graphics would be nice. I got some red graphics that I can mail to you for free. I paid like $20 but I don't care.

Since you have a CO that's tough. Red might not look that great since the color family is so similar. Screw it, go for yellow or polished. Either way it'll be super sporty and it'll pop. Brembo has a sick new kit that's polished. Looks like tits with a rotor in the middle. Instachub stuff.

Good luck and post some pix when your done!:thumbsup:

Black would be my vote.
