Something other than silver or black.

The world is your palette. Do something original.

I had a Sliver Charger and I painted the calipers with the Blue caliper paint. Came out beautiful!

I always like the red. Red is probably played out, but its a good color. You should do a DIY!

With the G2, you have enough time to do them two at a time, even though they say to wait 4 hours before putting your rims back on. Just make sure that your wheel/tires are clean before reinstalling to do the next axle.

I think sky blue or light blue would look great buddy, let us know how it would turn out with your red.

Blue. Red is overdone, and I feel like that color belongs on a more sporty looking car. I guess once you get your mods on red would look okay, but I say blue would look great either way
