Help me choose caliper color

Ni55anPat · 01-06-2013, 10:35 PM

Finally upgraded to sport brakes all around.

I have an interesting theme

I'm thinking teal like project mu but also Thinking RED

Jasonle · 01-06-2013, 10:49 PM

red!

DEpointfive0 · 01-06-2013, 11:04 PM

I have a blue car too and I think red is THE color for BBKs...

But it will clash BIG TIME, even with your Ti rims

What about black with a white "Nissan"?

Japanjay · 01-06-2013, 11:13 PM

I vote yellow.

Ni55anPat · 01-06-2013, 11:18 PM

Yellow. Hmmm

Saw Porsche blue with yellow. Not bad!

HArturo319 · 01-06-2013, 11:26 PM

Orange!

Close enough =)

Jasonle · 01-06-2013, 11:33 PM

^that does look good

Ni55anPat · 01-06-2013, 11:45 PM

still liking the yellow over the orange

HArturo319 · 01-07-2013, 12:06 AM

Go with yellow dude. Yellow stands out so much cleaner. My favorite is black on yellow... so there. Heed.

Since you have a light color, I would do one of two things if that were my Z. I would do white calipers with translucent pearl paint and have the "Nissan" painted the color of the car or red. Option 2 is going for the same color as the car. Red, black, and yellow will go well with it but there are tons of those out there, plus white complements nearly every color just like black does and white calipers are rarely seen. Nice wheels BTW.

Everyone always says that whatever color you make it, it's going to change radically after they get hot.

I thought pretty much grey and black were the only colors that survived the heat?

Mike probably knows a lot on this particular topic...

For everything but track use, they will hold up just fine. I've got customers who have had them 6+ years and say they still look like new.

I would go with matching blue myself.
