Default Lets see pictures of your paint calipers

Hey guys on my black 06 with black rims I painted my calipers red, but I just got an Alloy GT with polished aluminum rims and I want to know what color calipers would look best? I am looking at getting either black or red.

My car is black w/red calipers, so I'm sure you recall what yours looked like, but here are a couple quick pics just in case.

Here's a couple old pics after I finished them. They've held up pretty good. Can't go wrong with black. Nice new wheels btw congrats!

which color is alloy again?

if its the lighter silver, than u would recommend black....if allow is a darker color, than red would be a good fit for that one...

either way, USE THE G2 KIT!!! it lasts longer and looks better than the duplicolor brush on kit....

The tires could really use some shine, and she ain't as clean as she should be, but this is the best pic I've got right now of the calipers.
