Suggestions on colors?
After reading several of the posts concerning painting calipers, I would like to have mine painted, but am not quite sure of the color. The vet is Nassau Blue, what do you think?

Depends on whether you want to go conservative or eye catching?
Black would be conservative, but some YELLOW calipers would really kick serious azz and look awesome!!

Sue - I answered in my post about color - personally I like the way a contrasting color looks on the caliper. Red works with anything, yellow or gold (like Brembos) looks good too.
The only problem with the silver or grey is that that really isn't that much different than what they look like now - clean. Blue is too dark, as is black.
It all depends if you're looking something flashy or conservative!

I just love the red calipers - really stands out. If you don't want to do that color, try the Nassau Blue - would look good too.
