Painting calipers ... MSG's step inside ...
Hi All ... Painting my calipers soon. Just wanted to gage opinions ...
I'm leaning towards yellow, but haven't seen any other MSG's with painted calipers. The yellow sets of the colr and the rims .. and the rotors for that matter! Photochopped a medium gray on fronts, but I think they'll look similar to OEM (nothing). Merry X-Mas to all the night owls.
TIA. Comments, suggestions, ideas welcome. Hey EG! Got a spare flame retardent suit?

Since I can only choose from yellow and MSG i selected MSG.
If I owned a MSG vette I would have red or silver as the accent colour

Black.......goes with everthing you have! Not bling, but elegant. Yellow is just to bling bling for my taste...looks ricer to me. Grey would be OK, but a nice black would show against the shiny silver of the rotor nicely and contrast fine behind the wheel too.....
Hey, its YOUR car, and expression of your taste and interest......Choose the color YOU like, and you'll not be disappointed...Who cares what WE think....

Thanks all. I just wanted to make them to stand out. Red is so common, I didn't list that as an option. Good suggestions all around though. Hope you all had/have a nice X-Mas! I'll complete my project and shoot some pix for you all later.
Oh yeah. No my rotors are not backwards. Baer rotors go that way, the veins are supposed to pull cool air inward. Had that question when I got them 3 months ago. Thanks for looking out though.
