I'm in the same situation. With the tungnsten grey, I'm thinking of going black. I've seen red and that was ok but I don't want it to stand out so much, just want them to look nice. -Joe

Honestly our stock calipers aren't anything worth showing off. If you want your car to have a finished look black or silver. Red/Yellow is just ricey on stock calipers. This isn't to say they don't look good just my opinion.

I painted mine white to offset my black rims. I bought mine from tire-rack though, it cost about $30.

16 bucks at walmart for the same Dupli Color kit. Did mine in about 2 hours, had a lift and removed all 4 wheels. My buddy cleaned the calipers while I painted. Did two coats as well. The second coat makes the color pop nicely.

[align=left]Just got back from Wal-mart, (they didn't carry it) and Autozone (only $16, but out of blue) :-(
the guy at the store said that all of a sudden they were selling like hot cakes, must be a lot of you guys in St. Louis!
No hurry, I'll check around at other Autozones in the area, besides I'm waiting for those decals mentioned earlier in this thread.

JBAILER, I love what you've done with your car! I want that same Eleanor look. The only thing keeping me from doing it is my wife lol. Maybe if I do one thing at a time she won't notice me spending money lol yeah right. She got a big bonus check that could have paid for it, but she wanted stuff for the house. Oh well
