What color calipers? Done! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm stuck between IOM and black. One day I'm set on going black and the next I'm set on going orange. I've contemplated blue or red but at this point I'm definitely leaning between orange or black.

Don't mind my dirty wheels and tires...

Actually, I like red. Especially on your car.

zr1chris · 03-22-2017, 08:05 AM

I thought red would clash with the orange... Never seen it though.

flipstyledsm22 · 03-22-2017, 08:08 AM

Well, since you have the inside of your wheel matching the car, I would go with black.

I've always loved red calipers... I plan on doing red on mine.. but I agree the red may look off with the orange paint. So I vote orange to match. If you want to see what it may look like shoot me over a large good quality side shot of your car and I can Photoshop different color calipers on there for you.

I'd really appreciate that.

Will this work for you?

Sure I should be able to work with that. Whats the OEM color of your car? Inferno Orange?

Yes sir!

I like red as it's "the" color on supercars. Black would be nice as well. Orange seems a tad much.

Awesome to do that for him bdubz.

If you did a black bracket with the orange caliper, I think it would look good. I've been leaning that way for my IOM car. Going to paint it when I have to change the rotors for the first time.

Other good options, are black bracket with a silver caliper, or just straight black / straight silver.

I wouldn't add a red tone to the orange and white/black theme that the car already has.

TheFlyingBananaSS · 03-22-2017, 09:09 AM

I'm going with red on mine when the weather warms up.

You aren't that far from me. My mechanic has a 1968 RS/SS in hugger orange with white stripes. You should come up here one day, or we could go there, and we could get all 4 in some group shots!

I have an IOM and I went with red. IMO performance brake calipers should be red or black. Doesn't matter what colour the car is but that's just me.

Do you have a side shot so I can see how it looks with the up against the orange. Your black wheels and stripe changes things allot but still worth a look.
