  • Caliper color

    Ok so I have a 99 NBM (Navy blue metallic) firebird and I am going to paint my calipers soon. I have the 16in trans am chrome wheels (nothing special) and I will eventually want to get c6 gunmetal or black rims. What color do you think I should paint my calipers. I have seen people with all colors paint them red but do you think that will look good with a blue car? Also If i am eventually getting darker wheels then will the NBM look good on them? or if I do paint them NBM should I get chrome wheels and not gunmetal or black? So many questions in this instance I almost wish I had a pewter car becuase then I could just paint them red and it would look bada$$. But then again I love NBM!

    on an NBM car, you could probably get away with Black, silver, or dark blue

      Yeah I agree, you should get black, silver, or another dark color.

                  I actually really like that idea silverRS does anyone have a NBM with thier calipers painted. if so could you drop a pic. I am liking the blue with silver firebird or the silver with blue firebird emblem. Its seems all so good in my head.

                    Just paint them silver, its much easier to find silver high temp paint then it is to find NBM spray paint

                              go black, or NBM... red and silver will be to flashy... and red is just nasty on a dark car
