Thoughts on Caliper Color
 

I've got a Brilliant Black Rx8, and just placed an order for Gunmetal Work Emotion CR-KAI's.

I have aftermarket slotted and drilled rotors, but they are extremely rusted on the part where the pad doesn't touch and on the hat and hub. I'm going to be de-rusting and painting the rusty parts probably silver or black.

Anyway, while I'm cleaning them I want to paint the calipers.
I'm thinking about blue.
I don't want to paint them red, and I'm stuck on either blue silver or black.
What are you guys thoughts on blue calipers with gunmetal wheels on a black 8.
My lugnuts are blue as well.

Also whats everyone's preferred paint? I've heard good things about the G2 paint ?

Yellow (Pre-coilovers)

Silver or black. Bright colors only work on big brake kits IMHO. pdxhak has BB with gunmetal wheels and black calipers. Looks awesome.

Haha I dont have a pic of mine, but I also went yellow... nothing like a crazy color to really catch the eye..


- wait you can see them in my sig pic-

And I would go with a blue... it would be a good additive.

G2 is a good kit. Yellow or Red would.be my choices.

Black with the G2 Mustang Tungsten Gray calipers and your wheels, perfect IMHO
Never liked the showy colors prefer sleepers

Silver is the only option when painting calipers. Any other color is hideous.

Definitely go with black.

Im getting a lot of opinions here haha.
I think I've narrowed it down to black or blue.
I just keep thinking blue will look really good but I know black will too.

go with blue yo!

mix it up with a nice purple lol

I might do purple on mine.. stormy blue mica! should match nicely :fingersx:

lucky! thats my fav color 8
too bad there aren't that many

Black-- simple

make them pop, why not?

I like bold colors on black 8's. I have a NG, so I'll be doing black with silver RX-8 stenciled on.

i was thinking about stenciling renesis on mine

black

G2 Black, imho

just do it black with a good clear coat.... autozone engine paint rattle in a can works great, its what i used when i did mine

black will look clean and simple, colors usually show off our rather unimpressively small brake calipers lol

black with a mazda decal :)

kind of far away but you get the idea
