  • What do you think?

    I want to paint my calipers, but don't really want to go with red. My car is a metallic dark blue so I was thinking of dark blue or black.
    What do you guys think?

    Teal blue or light blue would look better I think. You won't be able to see black or dark blue too well.

          Gloss black... I would only have calipers in black, red, blue, or silver.

          I don't think it really ever matters what color the car is, red calipers will always look good.

              Red looks great on any color.

                  I think silver would look good.

                    Man, what a debate. I guess I'll pull it out of a hat. Thanks for the input. I'm still trying to decide.

                            red will definitely show off more, but any of those colors will work on your car. black works on any car.
