Default Caliper Paint Help

I'm doing the deed tomorrow. Want to poll those with Mag Red II and see what paint color is the best choice. Currently have the Rustoleum Gloss Sunrise Red & Dupli-Color Anodized Red. Is there another color that is better suited???

I went black to be in contrast with my AE, but many are doing the monochromatic thing as well.

Just take your time and you will be very pleased with the outcome !

Noticed in earlier posts and your recent reply that you painted the center rotor. Was that brushed or sprayed? How did you tape it off? Can it be done on the rear as well? Anything to be careful about doing the rotor?

Are you going with a certian accent colour with the Mag RedII? if so I would possible go with that colour.

For me I am going with a silver accent on my vette which is NBM and will be painit the calipers silver with blue letters.

tire rack has a great price, the best i found.
I have it on my c5 and my 350z which i have autocrossed 20 times now and the calipers (red on both) shine like new after a wash.

Only accenting thus far has been chrome (ie. exhaust tips & plate, SS inserts, hi polished rims) and mag red (rear phatom plate, front surround). Thinking of staying as close to mag red as possible with the calipers, engine accents, and rear sway bar.
