Colour for Calipers

[Sean2010]

I have a Celestial Blue Mica 2010 3. What colour do you think would contrast THAT colour blue? I was thinking of a nice leaf green or something similar. There is,

Black
Silver
Red
Blue
Purple
Green
Gold
Pink

Wadda ya think?

Black....subtle but will make your wheels pop vs the stock silver.

 

[Sean2010]

why did you paint your P5's red?

Gold/Yellow IMO, yes, kind of Scooby-like but hell, if it looks fine on a Subaru, why not?? It should look very good...

PS - Mine are painted red as well, pics here

 

[Sean2010]

IMO, red is really played out when it comes to calipers...I want something that isn't common. Not saying yours doesn't look good, but it's just not for me. I love the blue/bronze colour combo. I want a set of bronze wheels. Maybe I WILL go with gold.

i painted mine black. u can't even tell they are there, which is what i was goin for, i'm painting my wheels bronze so i didn't want them to take the attention away from the wheels

 

[Sean2010]

good idea man

My car is red. With celesstial blue I think black would look the best but if you absolutely wanted some color I'd choose red, then yellow in that order. My wife drives a 2010 gunmetal blue 3i and I painted hers black and will be painting mine black this fall or next spring.

 

[Sean2010]

Looks good man. But i'm not going to go with black. Red to me is played out, and Yellow will show dirt alot. So, that leaves Green, purple, Blue, or gold as my fav choices. If you had to choose one, what would it be? Keep in mind, I have a black/blue theme sorta going on. Blue LED's in the front, as well as an all blue LED interior.
Think blue calipers would be too over the top?

Thanks and seeing that you have a black/blue theme going, I have to say black. Any blue that you get is only going to clash with the color of the car and IMO will not look right. That said, out of the other options you listed, I'd pick gold.

 

[Russm]

Why ask others opinions if you already have your own, just do it!

 

[sanblaster]

Yeah, if you aren't going to use the same blue as your car don't do blue. I would do black. Bronze/gold/purple won't look good at all.

 

[gejay99]

gold!

I just ordered a Grabber Orange kit from G2 for my celestial blue. I'll get some pics up once I get setup!

You think a white car with black rims and yellow brake calipers will look good? I'm gunna get mine done as well

 

[WillD]

Yellow would stand out well against the black I think.
