Jordan, if you had my setup, what paint scheme do you think you'd go with? I'm not shopping atm, just curious.

What color are your wheels? They look "blackish". But could be bronze or brownish. I have a few choices in mind, depends on body color and wheel color/finish. Let me know.

Or, use your calipers for the whole project. Take them off, ship, let them paint, ship back, re-install.

But, if you do not want to use their caliper exchange program, might as well have someone local do it. I chose to take advantage of ACG's program so that I was never out of my car. Once my painted calipers arrived at my house, I had them installed immediately. My car was down for a total of 3 hours. That's it.

ACG is reputable, warranties and stands behind their work.

I can always give you the specs of the calipers. When we take in a core set, we make absolutely certain that the caliper is suitable for use. Which is why we reserve the right to charge for cores if a unacceptable caliper is sent in return.

You are always more than welcome to send us your own set. This is what I did when I lived in Colorado. Down time would roughly be 2 weeks with shipping. (I'm a bit excessive and did it in 1 week by overnighting the calipers back and forth... a tad outrageous).

Color on Jordans calipers is a 3 stage pearl Lamborghini Blu Caelum. PM me for current pricing if interested.

Any of these strike you? I was looking over color palates and these three looked killer against bronze. What do you think?

I think yellow might be the only one that doesn't clash with red.

So, your car is still Mars red, I assume.

Then yes, green is out. You don't want a Christmas 63.

Instead of bright purple, maybe more of a magenta? Kind of a nice mix, purple, but with some reddish tones as to compliment both the car and caliper color?

I still think a mustardy yellow, like dijon with flecks and hints of bronze. Then pearl out the logo.

Or what if you gave them a sort of anodized blue-steel, like some guns and machinery have? Then they would look different at every other angle, sometimes blue, sometimes grey, sometimes blackish, sometimes white.

Just some thoughts.............

Anodized steel would be cool. Worst case I could always do black I suppose.
