What Colour Calipers?

[Charles89]

Hey guys, I just want some opinions as to what colour I should spray my calipers?

I was thinking red (a bit usual) or yellow or black?

But I want something that stands out but not too over the top, like green or pink lol

I found an example for yellow on yellow:

[1R34SON]

my last 34 was yellow on yellow, i think that looked good. what colour are your wheels? mine were black. i wonder how white would look... play around on photo shop and you'll get a good idea. red might be ok.

Why not consider gold? I did mine trying to replicate the brembo gold, close but not bronze enough.. Its the VHT gold caliper paint.

Heres a pic:

Well here's a pic of my car:

It's got dark grey buddy club rims with chrome dish.

I'm thinking maybe gloss black or dark grey now? because after looking on google, red brakes on yellow cars are a bit over the top.

I'm really confused As I don't want too many colours on my car lol

[Yo-Yo]

gloss black calipers on yellow car would be hot

that yellow on yellow doesn't float my boat unfortunately, looks cheap

[Yo-Yo]

red brakes on yellow cars are a bit over the top.

as with most things

as with most things

LOL

I think all that needs is clear indicators xD

Anyway, back to my car, I think I want something that stands out aswell, but not like dog balls lol.

After seeing this lancer:

I'm considering black or red lol, sigh.... Just can't make up my mind.

what about gold with red writing?

[Hakosuka22]

Gloss black with NISSAN in white or polished silver.

Simple, clean and not over the top.

My 2c.

i went gloss black with writing in gold i'll take picks tomorrow

[PUDZ 32R]

mine are gloss black with the nissan writing sanded after so its silver again. would look good on a yellow car. which mine will be one day.. as they say 2 shades of the same colour dont always go together..

[Charles89]

Do you guys mind if you take some pics of your gloss black calipers for me?

I want to know what it looks like

Thanks!

Gloss Black Pearl with Colour Code "GV1" as in the black R34 GT-R would look you beaut.

The R33 GT-R uses gloss black calipers but with brake dust on them, they look a bit shabby. The Pearl would lift it a bit and go with your wheels. I'd use Silver writing on the letters for contrast.

Other options:- Gold with red writing. Silver with black writing. Black with yellow writing. Black with red writing.

NO to yellow or red calipers IMHO

[TALBO]

Black, gunmetal or red. If it were me I'd go black.

[ali-turko]

heres my brembos not the same as your calipers but you get the idea

i reckon this sounds like a good idea, but maybe gunmetal..to match the wheels..for a classy look..

However red or dark orange would look sportier and match the tailights

+1

Leave the bright colours to the brakes which deserve to be noticed (ie. Brembo's) nothing special about standard nissan brakes

Very nice!

Yeah, they looks sick!

Thanks everyone for your opinions, I think I'll go with gloss black with gold writing?
