Caliper color for a white p5?

[acidbug]

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?

Red all the way! Check out my red calipers!

yeah it seems the red wins by popular vote! White, as cool as I think it would look, would just a PITA to keep clean and maintain...

Thanks for your help guys! If you have any other color suggestions let me know...

stock gray. if you have to paint for some reason, do silver or black.

I don't get black...(huh) you can't really see it all that well...same with black rims - I want more contrast...

check out (and bump) my powdercoating thread. I have several colors of silvers and greys. My personal favorite is "Mercedes Silver". I also have high temp silver and black (up to 1000*). The stock MSP calipers are already painted silver. I like that look but maybe someone would like some chrome calipers. I've got chrome powder also.

blue!

 

[Turbo Matty P]

hmm, how about glow-in-the-dark red?

 

[PhatTrax]

get them glow in the dark powder coated and get some uv neons

 

[Turbo Matty P]

holy crap.....I didn't think about the neon look....I hope it's not cheesy! I may regret advertising it!!

 

[PhatTrax]

lol, what do you mean? i think glow in the dark blue calipers would be SCHWEET! Just think of how many points you'd get at a show for having stuff like that done.

 

[Turbo Matty P]

neon lights may win points at shows but they are gHey!! I wanted my MP3 yellow calipers to glow in the dark so when I'm rolling through town I get a little extra bliing....i also want to bring more attention to my stock 16" wheels...oh yeah. Big pimpin' now!!

 

[PhatTrax]

UV neons, if you hide them the only things that will glow are the white objects and glow in the dark objects.

 

[whitemp5seattle]

I think that would be...interesting. It's definitely different...a little too "far left field" for me though I think. I'd love to see it on somebody else's ride though! (thumbs)

black sucka!!!

 

[Turbo Matty P]

no no no......it prefers to be called "african-american sucka".

please be more sensative in the future.

the white caliper uv bulbs thing isnt a bad idea really, i think superbrightleds sells small led bulbs that are UV and with them being so small it would be easy to drill a hole under the wheel weell somewhere and mount an led bulb with a rubber grommit and just wire it into something near by. hmm
