The blue I'm considering is a darker shade of blue (almost a midnight blue) than the Endless blue...Mercedes Capri Blue. I'm also considering Mercedes Tectite Gray and that Ferrari Fly Yellow.

Do the yellow. I'd pick something that would make your brakes STAND out and the capri blue might be a little too subtle. I'd try photoshopping the brakes but that's something I'm not good at.

I agree that yellow would stand out the most, but it's getting to be a common color nowadays. I was hoping that a darker color, like capri blue or tectite gray, would still stand out enough against brushed rims/silver body.

What do you think?

Grey seems almost stock to me. Dark blue might look too dark and blend in the darkness. If you are set on being unique then maybe a bright blue might do, but idk if would work since you don't have any other blue accents if you know what I mean.




Kandy apple red might look nice and it would complement your tail lights.

You ever think about getting them highly polished, close to a chrome look. Or what about gold plated.

Tbone,

That is what I'm talking about. It's pratically machine polished. Your brakes are aluminum and will get the same effect. If you do go this route make sure you clear coat over the polish it will look sick!

Take it to like a chrome shop they usually do it there or could lead you in the write direction.

How many layers of clear will be needed to keep that polish looking nice?

Tbone.

All you would need is two nice wet coat of clear. I would recommend using an automotive clear not something out of a spray can.

I have my own body shop and polished a couple stuff and then clear coated to a nice shine. Clear coating will also help keep the polish shiny and at the same time keep other contaminents from etching onto the polish metal.

Can you polish the caliper? Or just clearcoat it? I'm in Dublin, so not too far from you. Can you share pics of the stuff you polished/clearcoated?

Don't have any pics of anything that I've polished/Clearcoated recently but I can basically paint anything so if you wanted your stuff cleared I can do that.
