I would think a nice silver metallic(similar to factory)or charcoal metallic would look real nice

 

gunmetal (gloss finish)

 

I'd go with flat red and gloss black amg badge.

 

What's wrong with Yellow ?
I got a Matt black plasti dipped and planning to paint them yellow.

Or Red doesn't go with yellow ?
I've seen black and yellow many many times and it looks sick ?!

 

Red w yellow would need a golden arch on the caliper instead of an AMG

Looks like ketchup & mustard!

 

 

sprayed over the powder coat... on a related question... where are you getting the seals for rebuilding the calipers if you powdercoat?

 

Staying away from powdercoating as mentioned in first post. Not dealing with that bs and the downtime especially..

 

why not go with the same red thats on the car?

 

LOL a McBenz

 

You guys got jokes).
Nah no red..

 

Blue

 

Silver.

Red is a tough color to work with. Virtually any strong color combination with red is going to be garish.

Red/Green = Merry Christmas
Red/Yellow = McDonalds Happy Meal
Red/Blue = Skittles taste the rainbow

The only thing I like about the red color is knowing that it can eventually be peeled off. (Your car was insane in white, and that's what I hope you'll eventually get back to)

Red/Silver/Black combinations can be made to look good, most other strong primary / secondary colors are just going to look oddball.

Greg, first off - I love my white/pano and the red is temporary. Spent a long time looking for this car and no way will it change color permanently. I love the red too, but white is #1 - this is what happens when I run out of exterior mods. Thx for the compliment!
So for the next few months, half a year or however long it does it for me or the local police..I want the calipers looking right. I wanted lambo green (Verde Ithaca) for years and made threads about it. I refrained due to staying away from powdercoating.
At this point I still don't know. I rarely ask advice on mods.

 

The beauty of a white car (or black for that matter) is that almost ANY color caliper would work well..... green, orange, red, yellow, pink, etc.

Anyone have any pics of a pewter car with painted calipers?

 

your car is beautiful both colors, whatever you pick will probably look amazing

 

I don't like red and yellow. reminds me of macdonalds

 

whats a good color that rhymes with RED?

 

Thank you!
So far I'm gonna go with white again just red brembo decals.
If I find a verde ithaca non-powdercoat high heat paint I'll go with that.

She'll be white again. So I won't miss.

 

So you decided on a candy cane then, huh?


Just kidding. Should look great.

 

Are you really considering green?

Do you want your car to look like an Xmas tree?

 

Gunmetal?

 

I think gloss black with a red AMG logo or red brembo sticker. Some pics of Tal's E55
