you can have the cf hood painted like how frank has his and what most people do with w203 cf hoods that i've seen. They paint the sides of the hood and leave the center in cf. looks nice IMHO

I'm always too late to this thread...I am sorry but throwing in mag blue to what you currently have right now makes it look wayyy too busy. Trust me, this is coming from a guy that changed up the look to his w203 in full at least 3-5 times. The W203 4 door body just does NOT have the aggressive lines to pull off certain themes...unless you go ALL in. And to be frank with you...your car looks super clean don't get me wrong but to pull off 'ALL IN' you still have a lot longer too go. I think a VARIATION(not as crazy ie toning down the hood) of the A4 pic...would probably be the safest and cheapest all around way to go as you have the more expensive things out of the way to complete that look. But that's just my POV

Back from the dead..Update:

Wheels have been done. Need to change all bushing, change brakes, paint calipers and drop in new lowering springs and shocks with 2 new set of tires with an alignment and it should be game time.

I still haven't decided on caliper paint but I've noticed Phister is always right with that said here is a GTR with Mag Blue wheels and Orange Calipers. Hope it turns out good.

I would go with the orange, looks sick! But maybe I'm biased 'cause UVA's colors are orange and blue lol

Orange and blue FTW, GO BRONCOS!!!

Now I'm in a predicament like Karo and need to choose a color to paint my calipers, lol. I got the black Brabus VI reps and of course red goes well with that, but that's too typical. Yellow is alright with black but it clashes with the white car. I'm thinking white might be good and it will match the car. What do you guys think?

Sorry Karo, I don't mean to jack your thread, I just don't want to add another thread about the same exact thing.

White will get hella dirty. I say a nice blue or teal green would look real nice with the white. Or go PINK! I'd rock a nice color of pink if mine weren't painted purple.

C230 Mulac

yeah white will get dirty, i didn't even think about that...maybe i'll go for the pink lol

i have some blue caliper paint but i wasn't sure if it would clash with the black or not so i'm hesitant on putting it on, maybe i'll paint some piece of metal and hold it up next to the wheels and see

I really want to see this when its done.

phister

You can never wrong with blue. I'd go for the anodized look.



But still love the Teal color




HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE COLOR.... CANDY TEAL!!! FTMFW!!!

Unless you feel like cleaning your calipers all the time, I suggest silver or black. All other colours look great at first, yet after some brake dust look like crap.

C230 Mulac

That teal color looks badass, I think I might go for that!

phister

I was leaning for teal but its hard to find that color unless you ship to a shop.

W203E35

That looks sickkk. Mine are currently white and they get dirty and looks like old beat up calipers.

Update: Went with Satin black instead of the Mag blue (or I should say redid them satin black lool)


I like the middle part Phister. I wonder how that'll look on my car. Pain the middle rotor part.

mskembo

I have to go orange... Then I can rep Broncos all the time! My wife thinks I'm nuts, but hey that's just par for the course!

phister

lol do it Mike... I think Duplicolor makes an anodized orange..

Heres the duplicolor orange on a lexus caliper

bheng

been on this predicament for awhile too. i got the brabus vi reps in polished silver. i was thinking about getting a candy apple blue. lol what do you guys think of that? haha sorry for the jack karo.

the mag blue and and orange look like a sick combo. i think orange can be pulled off with black rims too.

doesnt the g35 have their calipers painted orange, stock?

mskembo

That looks tasty Phi, I think we have a winner. Now I just need enough downtime that I can do them and let them cure. That's beautiful!

phister

Heres some stock G35 brembos



If you going with the duplicolor get the ground coat too, it'll give it more of the anodized look. it takes about 3 hours to cure for the duplicolor before you want to handle it. You do 2 coats in 10 min gaps and the 3 coats is a wet coat 10mins after the second coat then let it sit for 3-4 hours to cure. But the ground coat can be sprayed over after a hour of curing.

IM CONFUSED >.<

phister

they're not really orange, its more of a goldish color for the stock Nissan and Infiniti brembo.

havoc_vulture

I meant the process confused me Hahaha its paint first then ground coat???
