NEW PICS AT THE BOTTOM
I have a silver Celica with silver rims and I want to know what color I should paint my calipers. I'm having trouble deciding between silver and blue. My rear drums will be painted black until I can get the GT rear setup and paint them the same color as the front brakes. What do you guys think? Here's a pic of my car: ![]() ![]() EDIT: The blue actually look better in my mind than in photoshop. It'll actually be a darker blue. I painted the calipers on my friend's black tC and it came out real nice. I just don't know if it will on a silver car.

QUOTE(lil_lissa @ Nov 26, 2005 - 8:22 AM) [snapback]359722[/snapback] i painted mine black My theme is silver and blue but the blue is in the interior. And most of the blue inside is at night like with the LEDs and stuff. The only blue you really see in the daytime is the 7th gen seats and my headunit. I'm probably going to go with silver just so it stands out a bit. I'm proud of my disc brakes. lol. I was going to go black but then i'm afraid i'll never go back. j/k. lol. seriously tho, i was just because they look clean all the time but it's rather have it stand out a bit. and it'd go with red but like dustin said, unless it says wilwood or brembo, i think im going to go with silver and see how it turns out. but aaaahh! im really curious as to how it would look like in blue but i really dont wnat to waste too much time with it. if only i had all the right tools! lol. but silver it'll be. and black on the drums. man, driveby, let me get those dual piston calipers and i'll definately keep em black. lol.but im going for a subtle, clean look on my car i think if yuo do silver, its a wholleeee lotta silver on ur car, paint/rims and calipers... but i think blue stands out a lot unless you have other blue going on with your "theme" of the car... anyways... my advice is go black.. -------------------- ![]() |
