What color calipers??
Getting a 12 GS in Blade Silver soon. Looking to have Mike the powder coater add some color to my calipers. What would compliment Blade Silver the best?

Red is a possibility? You think red calipers with red hash marks would look good?

Maybe. But the rims are ZR1 style and I think adding some color sets it off if it's the right color.
Might even just go with a dark gray color with gray hash marks

Crystal Red TC, Chrome Wheels and Gray Calipers? But no hash marks.

Yellow would look good too. I really like red but I see so many cars with red calipers that Im now thinking of getting yellow to be more different.

Crystal Red, but if you haven't had Mike do your powder coating previously, you may have to go somewhere else because I heard that Mike is not taking on any NEW customers.

I've had Mike do 2 of mine. I drove down to meet him and let him install them. Very nice guy.
