Green Car, Red Calipers??

I have a green 94 Z28, what do u guys think it would look like with red calipers? my buddy has some caliper paint left over and i was thinking of doing them.

what about for the engine bay, would red accents look right on a green car?

Green is a tough color to have accents for. Red is going to look bad unless you put some candy canes on the antenna and a wreath on the grill.

The only thing I'd say besides black is silver. Maybe just black with silver overlays, or paint them body color.

the caliper paint does not come in gree, can get it in black red or silver. the silver wouldnt really look much different then the way it is right now.

the red is free, but i think it would probably look dumb.

I don't like it, but atleast the rims and badge tie it together.

I would say that the color you pick depends on the rest of the theme... color of wheels.... black mirrors? any other decals?

I think maybe black could go well with yours. keep them clean and get some decals from brent.

the only reason i picked red is because i wanted it to tie into the red "Z" in my z28, while the wheel ties into the "28"

I also just put on silver racing stripes... everything ties in even more now...

the car is completly stock

the reason i was thinking red was because I could get the paint for free.

would black calipers be noticeable though? the Z28 badge is the stock black one and the mirrors are black, rims are stock.

i dont think silver would be worth bothering with, i doubt that they would even be noticeable since they are a grayish silver the way that they come.

Silver with caliper decals is the way to go.
