gonemad · 12-11-2010, 09:57 AM

i have an 04 comp orange with black n polished fr500s...was trying to figure what to do with the brake calipers, black and dark metallics are ok but kinda boring, classy but boring...i was thinking of doing some metallic orange/copper or possibly metallic blue...anyone have pictures ofd what you did with yours (doesnt have to be comp orange or black fr500s) just wanna get some ideas. thanks

Painted to match the car always looks best IMO.

TRmachwon · 12-11-2010, 02:24 PM

Agreed. Black or color matched. Anything else would look tacky IMO.

What he said ^^^^^^^

a traditional 'silver' color doesnt look bad IMHO

badass4.6 · 12-11-2010, 04:42 PM

so yall dont like the the red calipers on the 01 Bullitt? from what yall are saying it looks tacky

Good comeback. Red on the bullitt looks great. I have red calipers on my AB Mach. Color coded to match the car isn't always the only choice that will look great. But with an orange car, its already a wild paint scheme, throwing another color in the mix would set it over the top.

For a CO Mach - Black, Orange, or Silver

orange looks really good, i had mine painted orange, and will redo it this winter again.

gonemad · 12-13-2010, 03:11 PM

Agreed! Body colored calipers would look SICK! Especially orange

JDWmustangs · 12-14-2010, 12:13 AM

badass4.6 · 12-14-2010, 02:03 PM

yeah thats the color im going for eastwood has a couple copper/orange metallic powders, ill update after i do it and see what you guys think. i think it will look pretty good and be a little different. might do a custom air brushed "mach 1" logo with high temp black or silver paint on the front like the cobra calipers, i like stupid different details like that to make my ride stand out. the worst that happens is i bust out a rattle can of black duplicolor and shoot em.
