Help me figure out what color to powdercoat the calipers. The stock rears are grey so I have to do something. Car is black & wheels are gold and look like this:

My thoughts are either white with a red or gold Brembo logo or like a glossy primer grey with a red logo?

I wouldn’t do white. It’ll be impossible to keep clean, and will look like crap after a couple of weeks. How about nimbus gray?

Do it body color.

Maybe too dark. I was thinking of changing the colors just or be different and because they're not going on right away since we are still waiting for some parts. Might end up just taking the rear calipers off and have them matched to the red fronts and be like everyyyyybody else, but it would look good and go with the gold at least.

Don’t be that guy. You’re better than that.

It's a disease when owning a Camaro. I always laughed at Camaro owners for the cheesy things they do to their car and here I am trying to figure out what flashy color to paint my calipers.

2016 Camaro SS, and they’re 14.6. It’s the factory option kit that can be had for 3k but you can buy them from a GM parts supplier for 2k. With a price like that it’s hard to justify spending 4.5k for the 15.9 inch kit.

Black with gold lettering. Matching is the only way to go.

Matching Gold with black letters.

Ok I was close, those are really nice looking.

I was thinking that might be cool, too.

I think you’re pretty limited on colors that’ll work with black and gold. You could go with oh, I don’t know ... red. Then you’re half way there, right?

Shh, that would match his interior and make too much sense. Oh wait...

Yeh, I’ll probably end up doing that. Maybe airbrush tweety bird on them for ultimate Camaro owner points.
