59547, What Color Calipers
Posted by extreme97nt, Oct-07-03 01:42 PM
Well I got my GSX calipers today and sent them out to sm polishing for powdercoating. Just want some suggestions on a color. I was thinking maybe black or almost chrome. Please let me know what you think. My car is silver BTW.
Thanks
Paul

I've always been a fan of red or yellow.

Red would look better on a silver eclipse...imo.



WTB:
--bolt on turbo kit (star, hahn, etc.)
--rear drum to disc set up
--internals
---------------HOLLA!!!

My instincts would tempt me to go with gloss black, since that's my style... subtle but clean. But those red ones sure do look sweet. Either way, I'll let you know as soon as those calipers come in... :)

Im trying to stay away from bright colors. I have mine blue right now and dont like them. I think I might go wiht the Gloss black wiht maybe some silver eclipse decals on them. Unless some one comes up with a better Idea.

Sounds like a plan. I think that would look great.

you could do it my style... let 'em rust! (164k miles will do that)
i'll replace the calipers in the future when i have another car (so i can mess with the Talon)

As some floks said above, go silver, black or gunmetal.

Stay away from red and yellow! I painted one of my calipers red and it stayed that way for about 10 minutes before I went black. :thumbsdown :puke
