Idea for my brakes...Your opinion is needed!

***Misspelled "brakes" in the title***

hello everyone...I'm thinking about getting my brake's powder coated a blue color to match my lug nuts....I like the contrast how it is now with the blue and gold...but I was thinking about how it would look with pc blue calipers.

What do you guys think!?!? Also if you guys know anyone, or can recommend someone, that can powder coat them let me know!

If your going to powdercoat i would recommend the rotors being the same color also.

It works now lol it was a big X. I think it would look good. To bad you dont have black rims it would really bring out the blue.

I have almost the same exact teal in the duplicolor caliper paint sitting in the garage. I think if you did the rotor hats it would also help to use the color.

yeah matching would look nice, just make sure you find a powdercoater you are comfortable with. I wanted my rim color matched (bronze) and he gave me a speckled brown color..
