Thanks for the help guys, even though I'm still not sure on what to get, soo many choices so little time (at least with my impatience)
You can always send them here to Kuwait or bring them with you here, i know a great place, the same place that painted my headlights.

Just throwing this out there, and i'm not even sure if it'll work on calipers... how about a custom chromalusion formula? That way the color changes on angle and you're not stuck with just one color?

Remember, it doesn't have to be the purple/red combo you usually see and associate with "rice". DuPont's chromalusion formula can be made with any color combo you want.

I say do them yellow Maz, I think blue would look better on an LP G and red looks best on a black car.
I was planning on going with yellow back when I was gonna order some Akebonos but now that I have bronze wheels I'll look into something different when the time comes.

guys guys guys!!! I've had a revelation, looking through some PC'd calipers I'm in love with these,

I think they'll actually look nice on IP with black rims because they're not bright red but a nice deep blood red,

what do u guys think I think the color is Candy Apple Red or something like that :









BTW I forgot who's car this is so whoever you are I hope u don't mind me using them for reference

You see, blue just wouldn't match so that's out of the question

Orange is ok but it's like dirty yellow lol so I'm not keen on it

Yellow "was" my first choice, but tbh I think it'll look slightly out of place,

at least with the Candy Red it's not really bright red and I was looking at my car today and I could just picture it perfectly, also I disagree that it's too shiny , I think they'll stand out when they're clean but as soon as it starts to get dirty it'll look nice.

Yellow looks crap when it's dirty and I hate the look, at least with candy red you won't notice the dirt as much.

have I managed to convince you?

I like CAR.

Have you seen it in person though? It actually has pearl in it which gives it a lot of luster. I'm not sure if that's what you meant by "bright".

Complete name for the color is Candy Apple Red Pearl.
