I think the blue would look good. Not your everyday, run of the mill red that is on most cars (like mine).

On my Mag Red 2001, I painted the calipers w/ Duplicolor Ford Red since it was supposed to be the closest red that matched the factory red on ZO6 calipers.

I'm still trying to decide that I like it, and I'm waiting for a sunny day to take it outside and see - Right now, I kinda of think that the Duplicolor Ford Red CLASHES w/ the Mag red, and I'm not sure I like it. I may be changing them to something closer to Mag Red -

Anyone know whether Duplicolor makes something close to Mag red, and if so, what number is it?
