What color to Paint Akebono Calipers on IP?
#31
man I'm just annoyed at myself for shipping the brakes over here so quickly, I should have sent it over to mike or someone to do the PC before I ship it. Now I'll have to try and find a decent painter here....I've got someone in mind I've just never tried them out so I hope they do the paint job right.
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)

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.

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 :

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![Embarrassment](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/redface.gif)
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?
