Twister Orange Caliper Color

[Rix350]

Hello and thanks in advance for any feedback.

My car is twister orange with gloss black stripes and metallic sliver accents pinstripes. I am looking to add color to the calipers and could have them powered coated twister orange.

If I change the accent (pinstripes) color to blue/red/yellow or ? I could paint the calipers to match and that might look better...

My question: has anyone changed the accent pinstripe color or painted the calipers on twister orange?

Only owned black or dark grey sport cars in the past and this one has me stumped.

This might sound crazy, but look into wrapping those calipers.... if you haven’t Powdercoated them by now... it’s a temporary fix if you ever want to go back... only reason I’m saying this is bc my buddy just had his car done and I thought it honestly was Powdercoated - check it out... only thing is with our cars, will rocks stuck inbetween the calipers and the rim destroy the wrap quicker than expected

Wrap the calipers? I can't imagine that would last long due to the heat. I've read to paint them, not powder coat them.

Outside of orange, i don't know. I like the idea of matching the pin stripe, but i can't picture any of the colors you're mentioning, outside of maybe blue.

Funny, we just had this conversation. Twister Orange, Orange Fury, same answers.

They make a high temp vinyl for wrapping brake calipers. Mine have been wrapped for the past year and are holding up just fine.

Damn, those look great. Interesting alternative to painting.

Red is too common so I stepped out on a limb. White pairs well with avalanche gray.

Looks cool - was referring to the brake dust ;)

You have to be careful with the corresponding colors with orange. Typical complimentary pairings would be green or purple or blue. I chose to go with a much more simplistic matte black/silver pairing with my Orange Fury car. Not the same shade as Orange Fury, but close enough to be relevant.

many thanks for the feedback.
This is what I did, and felt like it was a good option. If I don’t like it I can pull it off or take a more permanent route later. So far I like the way it looks. I don’t track it but I do rip through the canyons and we have a trip coming up soon, it will get tested to the extreme.
