Caliper Color decisions for my Matte Red E55...
I can't decide what color to go with. I will not be going with powdercoating not to deal with any downtime - ain't happening.
They're white now. I've had big red brembos before so steering away from that too. Really want lambo green, but without pd I don't know. Dark yellow? I have the bigger evosport rotors as well. Thoughts?

Black will hide the caliper size which I really don't want. And yes, keeping in mind that the car will be white again.
Love the white calipers now and would redo them with the same brembo decals but in red (decals).

So far it's the Lambo green or White debate. Steering clear of red or yellow. Maybe there's a color I'm not thinking about? Only downside of lambo green in my mind is being able to do it right without powdercoating.
And nope, no photoshop. Thing is real, haha.

green will make you a christmas car...
I'd say gray or black since you're a 2-tone car (red/black)
now if you monochromed everything and went full red on everything you'd have more options

I don't think it'd look Xmas car...it looks nuts in person. I like colors and the green could set off the brakes. Slightly leaning towards redoing em white however.

argento metallic may look good, almost white - but probably easier to keep clean

verde ithaca could be sprayed on by a body shop, Mike Lee had his aftermarket brembos done in orange to match his LRP M3... Seem to be holding up relatively well
