I'm trying to decide what would look better.

I'm leaning towards black because it will probably be easier to get glossy and I don't have to match it like I would blue.
But at the same time, if I got a good shade of blue and got it glossy that would look really good (I think lol).

Any opinions?

 

I'd do blue, color matching looks good IMO.

I kinda wish I hadn't gotten mine in red because I don't want to paint my calipers red

 

Paint one side blue and one side black.


GIve a few weeks and decide

 

I'd either color match the car or go with red. Since mine is white though, I wouldn't color match - red all the way if I ever do it.

 

depends on if youre trying to be showy or not. if i had a winning blue id most likely go with blue calipers.

 

Wait... what's wrong with red calipers? Yellow calipers suck, but red is okay in my book.

 

You should paint them yellow.

 

This would confuse so many people in those few weeks..

*sees nice black caliper*
*walks around car*
*notices blue calipers*
???
profit!

 

Good point...
so, paint one blue, one black, one red, and one yellow.

Honestly, if you have a mostly stock looking car, I would go with the Black Gloss you were talking about. It means you take care of your car and keep it looking nice, but you're not trying call attention to it by using a rattle can. If you're heavily modded, I would say you have more leeway to run the matching colors and stenciling and all that.

 

paint them blue forsure you will be suprised of the outcome i wasnt sure w/ mine how close to matching they would be but i was suprised how good they look now

 

I did my rears in blue, and I drive a BB. But I am re-doing them in black with a white rx8 logo. The duplicolor blue is very close to winning blue.

 

go black

 

Go black and white like mine lol Ill post a pic up tonight

 

I did black. It cleans it up. I think red is overplayed. IMHO

 

He'd never be able to go back though.

 

LMFAO once you go black you never go back


no but seriously black is better

 

i painted mine black and i have a WB.

do it!!

 

woo! rear rotors, plugs, wires & coils coming tomorro


this is the color I decided to try for the calipers..

 

Actually judging by that picture its close to an exact match..but its actually a good bit darker cuz I didn't want an exact match (I wanted it darkish blue if I went blue).

 

Definitely black. I have a WB and went that route and it looks great... maybe blue lettering

 

i used black VHT caliper paint. withstands up to 900 degrees.

 

no, that blue comes out much lighter. It will match well. Mine are in that color now. But I am re-doing with black. It clashes too much with a black car...

 

Damn, I shall follow your lead. I noticed how hot the brakes can get.
