What color calipers?
 

Hey guys looking for some advice. I am finally getting ready to put on my brakes, and am hung up on what color I should paint my calipers. I would love some ideas! :tiphat:

Heres a photo if you havent seen my Z

I'd vote for orange but it isn't on the poll.

Orange with the Matte Red? Hmmm..

When I said orange I meant the Brembo gold lol

Edit: like this

What color are your wheels?

Gotcha! Makes a lot more sense now lol

Matte black TE37s.

Yellow. Look at the calipers on the 458, that bright yellow. It'll pop

I'm a huge fan of clear calipers.

I guess I should of added other on the poll!

Bright red or black. I think anything else will look too busy

PS you forgot to wipe off the finger prints on the black piece/window

I actually think blue would look great. To match the rays blue, don't think it would look too busy.

What about yellow.

Yellow or metallic orange

+1 on the Brembo Gold

Yeah. I was thinking blue would look good.. at least the same shade of blue as your Volk stickers.

Yellow!

I need the photoshop guys to help me out!

I'd say red or black. Or anodized like this...

I'll see what I can do and post up later. I will only do the blue though.lol

Matte Red no doubt.

burnt orange

Here is a quick one with blue. I can do a better job, but gives enough visual imo. I will switch it to red as well as that one was highly mentioned.

Here is the red. Please remember neither of these were done with great detail. And both will look 10x better. But just overall perspective.

I'd go red for the poll above, but I think even normal red would be fine. Yellow would be nice, too. White is too busy and Gunmetal/black/silver too boring.

Edit: Just from a design/style standpoint, your main colors are red and black, so they'll match just fine, even if the red isn't matte. But you can also try to match the ancillary colors, which basically are silver (door, lights) or yellow (turn signal lights), and it'll still pretty much match. I just think yellow or even red are more interesting.

What brakes are you going to run, Akeboners?

Considering your primary colors are red and black I would just play it safe and go with gloss red (you didn't have that as an option :D)

Thanks for your input

Thank you sir

Thank you!! Repped

The brakes are already gloss red. Sounds like I may be able to keep a little money in my pocket!

my vote goes to yellow or brembo gold

Not going to upgrade the calipers?

I would vote for matte red as well, or red in general. You already have the matte red and black theme going on, adding a different color might look a bit weird imho

my buddy paint his G8 calipers with a base coat of plasti dip and then a coat of meatlizer. looks awesome!

SICK Z bro!
I gotta ask though. Why are your just NOW upgrading the brakes? Hell it was the first thing I did to my touring lol

Lol I have had the brakes sitting in the garage for over a year, tried to get them on before zdayz but ran out of time. Finally have the car back from F.I and it is the first on my list now

Ahhh ok I see. That's a reasonable excuse. Well as far as your brake colors go, I vote white. If my OCD and the fact I DD my Z weren't an issue. I'd choose white. I think white would contrast nicely and add the right ammoint of "pop" to your Z.
