What color would you do for a white body with 5-spoke brushed aluminum sport wheels? I was thinking silver calipers might look nice, but perhaps that is too conservative?

G2 is nice but if you want something quick just go to your local parts store...

Yellow? You think that would work on a white car? I wonder if there are pics somewhere that would show this. I am leaning toward red though.

Another question (apologies for hijacking this thread)...

I see both paint-on and spray paint brands. Anyone know which is preferred and why?

I think silver would be nice and Classy but sporty as well. On a white car you may want to go red so it can stand out a bit. I have a black car and I want to paint mine silver. I have the stickers in black

Thanks Alex, the yellow does look better then I imagined. This will be a tough decision between red and yellow.
