What Color Calipers?
 

Ok. So i will be getting my calipers powdercoated and am having a difficult time deciding on what color to get.

INFO:

I am getting a set of 20" gloss black wheels with a pearl white pinstripe. As well as new rotors with a black anodized hat.

Currently the car looks like:

Decisions...

I wanted white calipers personally.. but of course they will get dirty fast even with ceramic pads.

Other suggestions have been:
a light blue to try and match the burnt TI look of the exhaust tips.
Deep crimson red to match the deep red of the tinted tail lights.
Regular bright red..
Turqoise/teal (spelling errors may abound!)

More than just simply an opinion, wondering if anyone has seen any car or has images with a setup you would recommend (overall car must be similar to really get a good idea)

So any input thoughts = appreciated!

my parents have a pearl white GT-R which has black rims and they went with red and it fits pretty well

I voted White w/ Black lettering. That way you can keep the Panda theme..........

im getting mine coated a turqoise/teal color...

i know this car has gold wheels...but you can kinda get an idea of the turqiouse color on a white car. maybe someone can PS the wheels black?

Hey. I'll be doing gold calipers with gold lugs on a black faced rim.

Red... ALWAYS Red!:rock:

nice maybe yeah is someone could do that it would be great.

I thought about black & gold.. (GO STEELERS) but theres no other gold on car

reds always good for calipers i think.. but then also alot of people have it.

Ok who voted for PINK!!!

My parents's GT-R with the red calipers ok not a Z but still pearl white, black glossy rims and red calipers with those AP racing/Stillen J-hook brakediscs :p

(not my parents but the guy that works on our cars, we borrowed the GT-R to him for his wedding)

i have a similar panda theme on my PW 370z, and I'm planning on doing white with black letters, so I suggest same for you.


I also like how Brembo gold looks on PW, so that's another option.

brembo gold would look great on PW but no powdercoater can source that color..

Orange with white decals for sure. You should also do a orange pin stripe around the lip, not white, and get orange anodized lug nuts. Small orange accents under the hood. Black out the headlights with orange projectors maybe? Or do the amber reflector in matching orange color. You can also take the rear emblem, have it painted black, and make the "NISSAN" in matching orange as well.

Or... all that, using another color. lol

Anything but white......

thats completely.. different from how it looks onw.. you nuts man you nuts..

James quit hatin on white... you just tryin to make my car look bad.

I voted for the deep red. I think a bright red will stand out too much and detract from your panda theme while white might be taking it too far. A deep red could look really nice if its done right. Good luck and keep us posted.
