Help me choose caliper color

burple doesnt look like it matches your blue. I say taste the rainbow with yellow!

kenchan · 01-08-2013, 02:20 PM

that burple looks good though.

but yah, i still think a dark metalic color would make it look nice. let the wheels stand out and not clash with the background for max emphasis.

I have a match for MBlue

Ni55anPat · 01-08-2013, 08:46 PM

You would have to ask Mike since I asked him for the same color he had done for a friend.

I think the yellow looks great and would be my choice for the OP.

One question though - how did te colr hold up over time?

darkside370z · 01-13-2013, 01:53 PM

^ i had them on the car for a few months and they held up perfectly fine.. theyre on another g35 coupe now and as far as i know theyre still looking perfect. i always cleaned them every time i washed the car and never had any issues with the color holding up

Mirror Red. I have customers who have had them 5+ years and say they still look new.

I like that too but I like the crystal red and the candy red.

To the OP the yellow really pops on the MB.

Just got these back from Mike.
All I can say is wow, what a stellar job!

Thanks Mike and I'll post a photo when I get them reinstalled.

sparky · 02-11-2013, 11:01 AM

Here we go installed, and the crystal red really pops.
The cooler shade goes really well with the gun metallic.
Thanks Mike!
