what color caliper on a green car???
i've got my calipers sanded down but i can't decide what color to paint them.... i'm thinking silverish or so cause i don't have any other colors on my car.....

i think it would go along with the chrome rims...

btw are there any tips on sanding these things because i just can't seem to get them smooth like some of the pics i've seen on here....

thanks, russell

Green huh.... That's a tough one. I'd have to agree with you. Go with silver or chrome paint. Red would kinda look like sewage

For sanding, I used the Dremel first to remove the casting marks, then used I think 60 grit to get off the nasty stuff, and finished it off with 400.

I would polish them and then put on black caliper decals, and then clearcoat. That would look best IMO.

I would go either black or silver. Probably silver.

If you do not have a secondary color, how about simply color-matching to the green body color?

Black would be best IMO. Put some decals on it and you'll be lookin good.

Black would look sweet. Silver is almost what stock looks like.

yes, exactly, go with black, it won't standout too much but it will make a diffference and will contrast with the rims nicely.
