Question So I have the option to powdercoat my calipers. What color?

I found a place where I can get stuff powdercoated and I'm thinking about doing my calipers. I was going to get LS1 brakes and polish them but I can just get mine powdercoated pretty cheap. So what color does everyone think? I'm thinking about the almost chrome from Eastwood Co.

Almost chrome
Black
Red(ehh)
Blue(ehh)

Almost chrome or blue.
White and red dont jive in my opinion, and black would just look factory to most people.

Ya, don't do black. You want a bright color to people will look at them. I would to red. It looks good on any color car, except mine. I painted mine orange to match the car. Maybe you could paint yours white, be a bitch to keep clean but has i nice factory look.

I like the idea of the almost chrome. Those would stand out a lot IMO.

IMO, the "almost chrome" products nearly all the time look cheesey. I've always hated chrome paint because it just never looks right to me.

I like the red and white combo so I'd have to say to go for the red and then continue on with the red theme on other areas of your car.

Chrome paint and Almost Chrome powdercoat are 2 very differend things. I agree with you on the chrome paint but the chrome powder coat is VERY close to chrome. I have the Eastwood powder coating system and it looks great.
