Favorite Caliper Color - Photoshopped
 

Hey guys, i'm thinking about having my calipers powdercoated. I'm trying to decide between red and persimmon (which would match my seats). I messed around with it in photoshop and figured i'd just do the whole spectrum. Vote for your favorite.

Burple!

Green, do it!

you should do purple on your white 370z. i think it would add to the raspberry cheescake theme.

Got to get sport brakes first. We're going to paint them white for the time being.

where's Hello Kitty Pink?

Here you go

orange / gold has always been my favorite caliper color. so that's what i voted for! i love the gtr gunmetal wheel with gold brembo color combo, want to do that to my Z someday.

I'm not anywhere near a "show guy" but if that purple was near more of a midnight purple I think it would be pretty cool!

i agree!

LOL. I love the graphics. That adds +10hp and +50 cute.:roflpuke2:

brembo orange. :D

i know the red will look good. it always looks good. but i like the idea of orange because its not red and really stands out. looks good on the GTR no matter what color it is, but for some reason its not jiving with the black Z, maybe i did the wrong shade?

not sure, this is my brembo's color on my G...

silver cars, you can get away with any color!

Try it with black wheels!

try what with black wheels?

Sorry I wanted to see what the colored calipers would look like behind black chrome wheels instead of your silver.

So true. If I hadn't bought my 40th, I think I'd go with...

Brilliant Silver + Xbox Green calipers and interior accents.

I voted red, however Blue looks really sharp if you wana switch it up a bit

i love all the colors, really, but i feel like the red is the only color that actually pics up any color from the car (the brake lights) I guess orange kind of pics up the signals.

completely dissagree! :icon17: not if you want to keep the car looking elite you dont want to use super bright colors.

Hey Jeff, like we discussed.... red is nice, but.......IMO, if I had a black car I would do either kandy purple calipers, or maybe a kandy antifreeze green (like what I am putting on my G).

Where's black?!

+1 here. I voted "Yellow" since that was the closest to kenchan's color I could see.

Now that I look at it again, the orange is closer, but too dark. The yellow has a tint of lime green on it...

:bowrofl:

i dont like that shade of blue... mayb a lighter tone would work

My car:tup: :

Red is classic. Maybe go different on the logo if you plan to keep one. Silver may look good on a red caliper / black car. Yellow is traditionally euro cars (from what I've seen it on) like Porsche & BMW, but doesn't mean it wont look nice. In the end get what you like, you have to live with it right.

Id def go with the red, but thats just me ;)

gibo77, those yellow calipers look awesome on your car. I think it might be b/c of the black wheels

yea, now as i look at the colors, the yellow is too green, and the orange is too poop brown. I like caravanshaka's color. its like a red/orange metallic.

I vote purple but just because I've seriously considered doing dark purple on my PG sport. I'm a huge LSU fan though and that's what inspired me. I think red is played out IMHO.

Scott told me you were looking for exchange. Look at pics in my journal to see caravans color on black, it's the same. I also have persimmon and candy purple looks great. I do exchange also

hey mike, yea i am looking to do an exchange. your work is awesome.

Are both of these pictures the same sunset orange color or is the bottom one red? I have noticed that from certain angles/different lighting they look red, and i really like that.

i'm stuck between candy red and that awesome orange you have

http://thepowdercoater.com/gallery/a...rontbrembo.jpg

what do you think would look better with how my car looks in that picture? candy red or sunset orange?

The bottom of the two akebonos is candy red, like the brembos, but with a metallic base instead of chrome base. Both of the reds are about the same. I had the orange on my black car, and still have the orange lipped wheels and intake tubes, so you know I like it. I had the candy red on my black c6 and that pic of my brembos was from my 350z. The red would be less controversial.

I like green.

i feel like the orange lips on your car provide enough of an accent so that the calipers don't look out of place, and thats why it looks so good. the orange on my car would be the only orange (on the outside). i'm scared it might clash with the red. my centercaps have red in them, and obviously my brake lights are red. not sure if i want orange just for the sake of not doing red. but they both look damn good. i love that metallic hue they have. i definitely want one of them just can't choose!:icon14:

I really like the red with your current setup.

i think i agree with you. I love the idea of the crazy colored calipers like green and purple, but with my setup, i just don't think it would work.

to match your seats? thats in the interior...in my opinion match them to the exterior...i like the red it matches the rear lenses well
