Caliper color for a white p5?

[whitemp5seattle]

OK guys I need your expert opinion on the what color I should paint my calipers... I'm thinking either red or white...(I drive a white p5)

Red matches the taillights kinda, but it's kinda cliche (seems everybody has red or blue calipers).

White would match the car, but would probably get hella dirty and I dunno if white calipers is too (ricer) (?)

I've painted the headlights black. I also just painted the upper grill insert white for that JDM look...cheap mod that took me probably about 30 minutes overall (had to let it dry and stuff, but I was doing other things anyway). I'm also planning on getting a tint this summer too. But other than that those are my only exterior mods planned...

So, red or white?

Never seen a white caliper, go for it.

the problem with white paint is that even if you use engine enamel paint (high temp) it still turns a piss yellow its really hard to keep it white, but if you can find some QUALITY high temp paint and clear coat, try it!!

Black calipers (powdercoated) with red "Protege5" engraving. Let me know if you want it done. I can do this for you.

 

[whitemp5seattle]

haha Matt. Sorry but I can't afford that right now...that'd be cool though...are you gonna do that on yours?

 

[Turbo Matty P]

nah, mine are going to be laser blue with mp3 yellow "mazdaspeed" engraving. I'm trying to stick to a theme with my car.

You should just powdercoat your entire car...windshield and everything...that'd be SICK! (sssh) (evil)

I've been powdercoating crazy lately. Everything looks like a color to me now!! I'm thinking of crazy combo's and etchings I can do....

Go for the red! I just ordered the red G2 kit today. Im gonna paint them when it gets warmer up here.

I like the white on white idea though. But it may be hard to maintain the cleanliness and whitness of the paint. You should go with the red.

i thought of doing white, but it would be practically impossible to keep them white. im probably going to go with the red or silver. i have yet to decide

 

[Mp5978]

go with RED, White gets dirty very easily

 

[p5sundevil]

sorry not one of your original choices but I say Gold.

on a white p5 i think gold would look pimp. your right about red being too common.

 

[Turbo Matty P]

worried about paint keeping clean?? (cough)powdercoating(cough)

 

[Phoenix5]

Red all the way!!(burnout)

 

[Togan]

dirt and grease will show up very easily on white caliper.. red it the best..
