What color should I paint my calipers?

The Green GT · Jun 11, 2006

im getting my new rims in later this week and I want to paint my calipers so the whole thing looks good, but I want to do it before I get my wheels on.
These are the wheels Im getting and they are going on a Deep Forrest green GT.

I find red compliments the green pretty well. I'd go red or black if I were to do it.

+1, I have the PBRs in silver with MUSTANG across them. Maybe do them all red(I dont like the painting of the outer piece black, it makes the caliper look smaller then it already is), with MUSTANG in black across them?

Exotics can pull off yellow calipers.

But for the rest of us, RED is the only way to go.

I am going to do them all red because like someone said, it makes them look smaller with the black. And im going to put either the black pony or the black "MUSTANG" on them. Maybe the pony on the back and MUSTANG on the front.

Man that red paint dosent cover for ****. I kinda expected to have to put like 4 coats though. I work at a paint store and even regular red paint dosent cover for ****.

I did the calipers on my sister's Mazda in red a few years back and I remember it took about 4 coats to get it looking uniform.

Im done with one now. It took about 4 coats, putting it really thick for the last two.

What color should I paint my calipers?
