I picked white with black lettering. You don't really ever see that. It's different. It would be noticed but not in your face being that that your car is PW.

how about a bronze colour? white/bronze goes well, black bronze goes well, I'm sure black/white/bronze would :D

otherwise, Deep red/turquise :)

Hrmm. got any kinda photos of setups like that/ white car with black wheels n gold?

Visuals help me out alot.

and dangit! if pink wins I really will do pink.. then run around everywhere saying that all 370z's love pink calipers.

I was in the same boat as you with picking a color, im going with red with a white akebono.

Lemers 01-06-2011 07:02 PM

I strictly said orange to match the orange interior.

I have a customer who really wants it and has been talking to different powder manufacturers. He is going to have them send me something that might be close enough. I told him if he finds the correct powder, his coating is free, because it will be the holy grail of caliper powdercoat!

Dai,
Here are some that I think would look good:

I don't have a picture, but I'm sure you have seen Shanna's Candy Teal brakes on her G35 at Z1, that looks hot on white.

And of course, I do have candy pink!

Hi Mike

Is it possible to powder coat the hats on 1 piece rotors? Will the color stick?

It will stick, but shipping is quite expensive. You are better off going with a high temp spray paint, unless you want a fancy color.

MMM that white and pink looks goood!!

Please don't get the pink! I voted for the white with black letters. Something different but not crazy. Red is always a good choice too. Looks great on white cars.

God-Speed 01-07-2011 11:25 AM

Hope this helps you out!!!

SPOHN 01-07-2011 11:37 AM

Oh yea. The white for sure. The red is perfect to. But it's the same as others. White would defiantly separate you.

TypeOne 01-08-2011 12:45 AM

I voted red...

I'm surprised at how many people actually voted for white... seems like a horrible idea for a brake caliper. In functionality and taste.

BTW Mike, the color I got might not be spot on... but I'm going to give it a shot anyway.
