I am painting my calipers soon and i need some help from you guys to let me know what color would look good.... im thinking about silver, black, or red.... ive got a Yellow MP3.... help me out here with my decision....
 
I think the choice is obvious...NONE OF THE ABOVE! paint them YELLOW! :{D

but if that really doesn't appeal to you....go with gloss black
 
RED u crack head!!! red will contrast the best with the yellow. I'll even let you use some of my 900 degree F paint if you want.
 
I'm going with yellow on mine. But my baby is blue. I thought real hard between red, and yellow....I hope I'm making the right choice.

For a yellow car, I think red looks the best......then again....yellow....hmmmm, hard to say isn't it. Heck I got my G2 paint system ordered, and I'm still wondering if yellow is the right color for me.
 
Don't make it mcdonalds theme colors...I'd try to get a blue color and do the opposite contrast with the blue mica mp3's

Post pics when you paint them please. The G2 paint kits are brush on right? I prefer painting with a brush over spray. Less messy and less taping and such required.

I've been thinking hard for a good color for the blue p5. Still not sure.
 
I was going to say red for sure - if you are going through the trouble of painting, might as well make it visible.

But then the Big Mac comment ... Mmm ... maybe blue is better ...
 
The g2 kits are brush on. I had to reorder mine, damn place I ordered from screwed up my order somehow. So, I still won't see the stuff for another few weeks. Then I got to wait for the snow to melt, and roads to clean up anyhow. So, I'm looking at May before I can actually paint them. Don't see the sense of painting them before the roads are cleaned up, snow or not. The sand alone would tear the paint right back off. And for the price I had to pay to get this stuff......I'm taking damn good care of it. it was 39.99 US for the paint, but shipping was another $25US . And I'm in Canada. That's a lot for paint.

Winter sucks.
 
hmmm u have a yellow mp3 with stock tails right?
so u already have a ronald mcdonald mobile.
so I say go 4 the red. the contrast will look nice.
my mp3 is blue and I thinkin about red or yellow, don't know yet.
 
I have a blue MP3 and just painted the calipers yellow. I like it, I think that I will repaint them though cause the yellow is not as bright as I would like.

Don't know yet....
 
I say go with the red...but don't think of them as McDonald's colours...think of it as the original Hulk Hogan colours! :D
 
Before I paint my cali's with the G2 Paint kit. I wanna know something. Has anyone else used this stuff before. Got any pics? maybe of the yellow.

I curious as to whether or not I should really brush this stuff on. Or, whether I should track someone down with an air brush and do it that way. I don't want it to look like it was brushed on....cheap and ugly.

Anyone used this stuff and got some good close ups of it?
 
I just painted my calipers yellow today. I'm definitely pleased with the job. It definitely contrasts nicely with the blue. My friend owns a dealership so i got to use the garage and everything. Only took me about 2 hours with dry time and everything.
