Brake Caliper Paint Combo?

Hey guys just wanted your opinions. I'm planning to paint my brake calipers and use Polak's brake caliper stencils. What color paint combo do you think with my titanium 8? I was planning to do black calipers with silver lettering. Thanks

I have been thinking of doing...

...this as well, MD! :D

Like you, I have a Titanium Grey RX-8. I think black with silver would look nice, but I'm gonna go with red and white. Saw this combo on a graphite-grey colored 911 and thought it was simple and beautiful...very racy.

The black and silver would definately be more in harmony with our Ti-grey paint, though.

Please post some pics if/when you do it! I'll certainly do the same should I paint mine.

Enjoy your ride...

A black caliper would not look "dirty" from all that brake dust. It's not as flashy as a red caliper though.

thanks for the input guys, funny though I have to go to the suburbs and pick up the caliper paint because you can't buy spray paint in the city. Graffiti Law
