Styling Caliper colour suggestions!

[boddahchris]

I'm going to paint the brake calipers this weekend... i was thinking as i have an orange car that it would look cool if i painted them bright green, but now i can't work out whether it'd look great... or really, really bad!

Neutral input is needed!

Tic tac.

Im considering painting mine soon too. But I just hate that thought of tacky caliper paint. Is it just me that thinks 90% of the time it looks tacky no matter the colour? Im considering a good clean up and painting them black

Yeah that sounds good, how bout silver? might make them look clean and crisp!

a Just really dont no, every colour i imagine makes me think tacky, apart from black. Think its just me lol

Personaly with the orange I would say black. I know this sounds boring but orange and black do go very well. Also I know it aint very flashy but the car colour in its own right stands out. Just think of it the other way round from people who have black cars and paint the Calipers red,orange or yellow. just my in put

Yeah the black seems like a good idea to me now, i got black stripes on the car so it'd be sticking with the theme too...

this should do, think the gloss paint would make it stand out best!:slayer:

 

[bajandrifter]

i reckon, you should stick with black...as matt said tic tac....you would be giving lots of little lifts...

Silver or black.

Leave them silver...

Black will look like they're dirty...

i have an orange punto
i was thinking to do them the same colour as the orange
but im guessing everybody thinks that would be really bad lol?

 

[Jason_6780]

Do them whatever colour you want do them, it's your car...

 

[Tris Harris]

might be a good contrast to the black wheels
