Painting calipers—but what color??

Hello

So I sold my laser blue Protege MP3 to my brother. He's ordering yellow paint to do his calipers and offered to buy me some so I can do mine.

The question is....what color?

My 8 is an '04 titanium. I don't want to go with the stereotypical pink (I'm a girl) but I do want something a bit bright. Not really into the yellow or red, either.

What do you all think about neon green or teal or something....or should I play it safe and do black? I know it's really silly...I can't make a decision to save my life.



Thanks

emmy

Black? Silver? Keep it clean. Yellow on blue is just gross, tell him to pick another color.

yeah probably should just play it safe. Go silver that way it still give you some "flash".

I'd also do the rotors while your at it simply because the rx8's stock rotor rust very easily. Just tape off where the pad touches and the bolts and have at it

mine is an 04 Titanium and I painted mine bright red yesterday, but you're not into the red, so what colors are available from where he orders? black is a little dull, but teal might be interesting. what rims do you have?

Black or silver, please. Bright colors are great for big brake kits but look a little cheesy on our little stock calipers.
