Another brake caliper color opinion poll

mts · 01-01-2014, 10:45 AM

Mike (The Powdercoater) is doing my calipers this month. I have narrowed it down to 4 colors. The car is a platinum/black roadster.

1) Crystal Red
2) Candy Red
3) Mirror Red
4) Jet Stream Blue

All the pics are from Mike's site. I am generally a big fan of red calipers (my 993's are mirror red) which is why I have 3 red variants listed, but I also have a friend who has a silver 993 with baby blue calipers and it really looks nice.

crystal red, definitely

Great guy to chose

I'd go blue just for the sake of being different since the newer Zs are coming with red from the factory now

Mirror Red!!

I have crystal red so I vote for that. It's a nice rich red that really pops especially when the sun is out.

^Any pics on car?

sparky · 01-01-2014, 07:19 PM

Excuse the dirty rims, car was sitting for a bit while the calipers were at Mike's.

I got candy red.

Mike · 01-02-2014, 09:57 PM

a little secret here, candy and crystal red are pretty much the same colors. one has a chrome base and one has a metallic base, but side by side, they are the same shade.

…to be different, should of gone with yellow…don't see too many yellow calipers; actually, think thats the color I'm going to do..

Mirror Red for me.

Mike did these for me, not sure of the exact color, but they are close to mirror red:

Irregardless of the color you chose, just know you are dealing with one of the best, if not the best, vendors on this board!

I'm eventually going to get the Akebono bbk as well, I'd choose a colour close to the ones on the GTR.

The problem is the red sticker on my TE37SL....I feel like it would clash.
