Would this look good?

[02GT]

Well since I sort of got a ford blue theme goin on with the blue accents on my car and the blue horse on the front. My question is would painting my calipers blue look good? Or should I just paint them red and be done with it.

If you did, you should use a medium dark blue with lots of metalic. if you use ford blue it will look dull and horrible.

Whoops! I'd like it!! I'm with ya!!!!

 

[realitygt]

no. blue is a very hard scheme to work with. almost everything with blue looks mismatched like if you paint an intake blue or calipers blue...

 

[02GT]

probably going to go either black or red. But the blue was in the back of my mind and thought id see what yall thought

 

[Petek]

Red calipers always looks good, black might hide them more than show them off??.

 

[duh09]

What about white?

That would seem to complement the blue more than the red would but I'm not sure how itd look...



You could always jsut polish em! :crazy2:

 

[realitygt]

polish goes with anything. it'd be your best bet.

 

[02GT]

how do you polish calipers?

 

[thorco3]

same way you polish anything else. lots of sanding, buffing and polishing. I just posted a couple pictures of mine in somebody elses thread about caliper painting.

I know I've said this before, but I'm still not the biggest fan of the blue. with that being said I wouldn't paint the calipers blue, or red for that matter if all the other blue stays on the car.

If the blue stuff was removed then red would look fine. In your case I would just go with black.

Red or polished :thumb:

Im starting to lean towards painting them black or just clear coating them. They are almost a silver color now because of the low mileage on the car, so maybe clear coating them will bring them out a bit.
