painting calipers...red or yellow?

[acbaseball186]

so i was on the phone with the body shop cuz i think i want to paint my calipers and spruce up the 'wheel look' since im runnin stock rims...now i originally wanted to go red, but now im having second thoughts...what about yellow? what do you guys think, red or yellow?

edit: does anyone have any pics of yellow calipers on a silver car?!?! or even red on a silver car lol

heres the car:

[jaketone]

I'd go red. Yellow might look better on a darker colored car, but that's just my opinion.

[SlappyB6]

I had yellow calipers on my 03 SpecV, but that was a yellow car. I'd say with silver I'd go red. I know a lot of people have red, but yellow really shows dust and dirt. Or you could go blue or black, or hell, silver if you wanted to be different.

Black. sleeper style.
just save up and get Stoptech 332 bbk lol will look awsome

[Casius]

I did mine in black, and I like it... however I have a red car so :P

stock calipers? go black. no need to draw attention to those things.

idk black will be boring, and as i said ill have stock wheels for awhile so i want the wheel area to look snazzy! anyone have any pics of yellow on a silver car??

Red... hands down...
there is no yellow on your car.. doesnt match anything...
atleast the red goes with the tail lights!

[quattro2003]

i agree. just go black.

This needs to be reiterated again:

Hey i did mine on my civic and then my jetta. But hell no for my outie.

[Rommulus]

Black

[Siggiepop]

i would paint it black.. what are you like rice? red with stock calipers? lol just do black when you have something thats the real deal then another colour will be good

[SlappyB6]

Here's an idea, do what you want. If you want to try yellow, then do it. No need to conform to the majority.

[A4 KiDD 810]

Definitely do red. And I wouldnt even be worried about minor things like that. You car's body is probly 1 of the best stock bodies i've seen. Looks like you're riding at a nice level and the wheels and painted lowers and the tinted windows. Get on that engine.

Black

[n7plus1]

i have red laying around from past jobs...i may just do red on mine b/c i dont fee like buying another color.

[Elliott]

THIS WOULD LOOK FABULOUS ON SILVER!

[Tomek6]

I have to agree with black. Anything else just looks cheap. Unless it's a real BBK. How much are the Stoptechs anyway?

[Casius]

Is that a USP or just painted lowers?

[Casius]

I dunno I like my HP2s in black, I don't like to draw attention...

[McLaren]

I did mine in black a few weeks ago, and it looks fantastic.

[b6x310]

yellow looks good on DG...and it aint ricey either

Here's some (crappy) pics:




Notice that I didn't paint the caliper carriers, just the calipers themselves. I would recommend that you paint the carriers as well.

x9... or w/e # we're on.
trust me, our stock brakes are far too embarrassing to draw that much attention to. atleast get b5s4 or b7a4 brakes and paint those

[A4TL]

yeah you need at least b7 front/rear size brakes. the rears look so puny its a joke.

[younga4]

[Brian66D]

Black.

Threads like these give me some hope audizine won't completely turn to shit, by all the people against red/yellow

[aaaudiprotein]

I would colormatch you car's color.

[Carbon]

black is the only way to go with stock brakes

[Gondi Stylez]

Black for sure! End of question on stock calipers.

But I would love to see yellow on DG!

[a2gtinut]

same here- black.

You know, I bought my car all modded out and the seller had no clue what was in it. Looking at your front calipers, mine are a dencent amount larger than the size of yours. Mine are just stock silver but larger, perhaps I should paint mine. I have red caliper paint but flat black might be nice as well but if I get black with a polished lip 19's, it might be a black over load. Wait, isn't that the name of a porn?
