Another caliper paint question
All right guys be nice.
Wanted something different for the color of my calipers. Was thinking about buying two kits one silver and one black. I would mix it together to try to make it a competition grey color. I want it to match my rims. I was looking at the Dupli-Color kits. I don't plan on taking the calipers off the car. Will this work? If not what other colors will look good on JSB and comp grey rims? Any input and ideas will be considered.

That is an intriguing idea. I haven't seen anyone try that before. I'm thinking it would look nice. It probably won't look too different from the stock caliper color but would be shiny and match the wheels.
As for other colors, I think JSB calipers would look very
with the comp gray rims and JSB car.
Please keep us informed and especially if you go the homemade comp gray color take detailed pics and do a write up. I bet others would be interested. Good luck.

Fractory Gray?
My car is just over a week old. I have the new competition gray wheels that came with it. It looks like my calipers are already gray to match the wheels. Maybe not, but if so it looks like there may be a factory gray color already. Might mean no mixing of the paint.
