Caliper Colors
I'll be having the calipers on my pewter vert powdercoated soon by Mike at powdercoaters.com .I'm thinking of making them red like the color in the vette emblem but I'd like to know what any of you've done or think.
Thanks

Being creative is always an interesting experiment. However, I'm partial to red and will do mine soon (on my torch red C5). Did it not long ago on a dark red Camaro and it looked good. It also contrasts nicely with a cleaned up silver rotor and of course crome wheels.

I did mine in torch red. Looks great IMO. Red may be overdone, but it still looks the best.

Also what wheels are those?

I asked Mike to coat my calibers in colbalt blue for my pewter C5. As soon as I get them installed, Mike is just waiting for the seals to come in to send them to me, I will post some pics so you can see what they look like.
