Opinions Needed Brake Caliper Color
Hey Guys,
I was thinking about painting my calipers but can not decide what color. If you look at my signature picture you can see how the calipers are lost within the rim. I am looking for something that would stand out a bit with out over doing it. I know red is the standard but I feel red looks much better with a black rim. Any recommendation? Post some pictures of your cars if you have painted you calipers.
I can't find pictures of a black c63 with oem wheels that has red calipers. or Black?
Thanks
George

Good call
I like, there is something about the red I don't like but that color I am a fan of! I hope I wouldn't look like a poser but I guess the only way not to is to just upgrade to carbon ceramic brakes are those available for our cars?

The posing thing is out of hand when you start worrying about caliper colors. That's not posing, paint your calipers whatever color you want.
