Orange calipers on red camaro?

[jmeccia]

I would just like to get some opinions. My previous camaro was black, so I painted the calipers bright orange...it was sweet! (not to mention, it was "Chevrolet Orange") :D

Anyway, I still have the paint, and Im kinda partial to orange calipers. Do you think they would look good on a bright red camaro? I dont really want to paint them red to match the car... to many ricers here have red on red.

Any pics would be very helpful.
Thanks!

I'm going to have to say no. Orange on red does not match. Pick an accent color that you want to use with the red. Black, silver, polished [img]smile.gif[/img] , white.

If you look at a color wheel (graphic designer thingy) you need to find colors that off set your primary color, which in this case is red.

Exactly. Orange and red clash horribly. But different people have different tastes, so do whatever you think looks good.

You guys dont think orange & red would compliment kinda like a flame??

Accckkkkk....I wouldnt do it either :eek: !! Red and orange arent compilmentary colors. Opposite colors on the color wheel are complimentary. They do look good in flames.....but you're not doing flames [img]tongue.gif[/img] Silver would look good....polish them babies
up! :D I did a quick photoshop job of one of our club member's red SS with orange caliper. It's at the end of the album.
