Caliper color help
I have an AW FRC with Titanium color Forgestars and need some input on what color to paint calipers. I want something different than the typical red or black.
I am going to be using the G2 Caliper Paint after seeing many good reviews on it. I have a set of C6 Z51 calipers and brackets on the way, so painting them off the car is not a big deal.
I am thinking either a blue similar to the ZR1's or maybe a white or yellow.
What do you think?
Here is a pictures of the car for reference.
Color swatches:
Yellow
White
Light Blue
Blue

I like the blue or of course red will work also. As for the white, I don't think it will stand out that much plus you have the brake dust issue. Yellow is definitely out. My opinion only.

I think red is the way to go, but of the three you show, I'd go with blue.

your brakes won't work if you paint them white
they will be marginally better if you paint them yellow
they will stop the car from moderate speeds with the blue
and slam it to a stop on a dime if they are red

Your car is SCREAMING for "RED" calipers!!! IMO that would set it off right...
However, you didn't ask for my opinion, so of the three colors posted, I'd say try "WHITE," that'll be more subtle and won't pop like blue or yellow.
