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

otherwise, Deep red/turquise

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.

White:


Aquamarine Blue:


Crystal Red metallic:




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.

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.

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

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.
