Re: Caliper color??

I think Yellow, Gold, or White would look nice. Do you have a "secondary" color for your car? My Black Camaro has red calipers to match the underhood parts and such that are painted red. All of my suspension parts are powdercoated red as well. My fiancee's White Trans Am has blue calipers, to accent the other parts painted blue, since blue is her "secondary" color. If you don't have a secondary color, I'd recommend one of the three I mentioned above...

I would think gloss black would look really nice against the rims and body of the car.

Re: Caliper color??

my hood scope is black, i have black out taillight and headlight covers and a black grill. So the only color that would proabably look good would be black, but the thing is i want it to stand out and i dont think the black will. Anyone with black calipers have a pic?

I think the only caliper colors that look good on any paint scheme is either black or red. Possibly blue, that it's it. All the other colors just wouldn't like right.

Re: Caliper color??

Go with black... Since you already started making black your accent color.


Unless you can match the SOM on the calipers.

Re: Caliper color??

If you already have black as an accent color, I'd go that route. If you want them to stand out a little better, try painting or finding some lettering (that will withstand the heat) and put "SS" or "CAMARO" (or "CAMARO SS") on the glossy black calipers with some orange paint/lettering...

Best vinyl guy in the world. The caliper decals are almost halfway down the page.

Re: Caliper color??

Can you get them painted in Sunset orange? I think they'd look like *bleep* if painted any other color except maybe black.

Re: Caliper color??

i bought gloss black engine paint to paint them this weekend. I don't think i could get the som in high heat. I think the black will look good though. Thanks for all the advice.
