Painting calipers and wheels...any advice?

[Chrono86]

Hey guys,
Have a dark blue (color code UC, not sure what the official color name is) 2003 Elantra Hatchback GT, and looking to re-paint the alloy wheels gunmetal silver. I also want to paint the calipers, what color do you suggest would go well with the silver and blue?

Thanks
Adam

I have the exact same car as you (colour, year, model) I am painting my Calibers either blue or red, I am leaning towards blue though. I think either blue or red would look good doing that

I would def go red or black.

red will contrast more

[slyderdai]

yeah I'm gonna say red also.

I always go with black on OEM brakes. I prefer not to show them off. I use the black to hide them and draw attention to the rims. Now, my Brembo GT brakes on my T/A were red, but they were massive (14").

I would go with the DupliColor blue paint.

I say red

red looks rice, might as well get some fake brembo stickers to go with it. I painted mine with hight temp flat black.

your rotors are backwards. maybe if they were on correctly you could have stopped quick enough to avoid your accident :tongue::D:drive:

no they are on the right way, i took that pic before i noticed and changed them, and even before that I put the calipers on the wrong sides too, thats why it took me soooo long to do my coilover install and brake job.:redface:
