Another Caliper post
So this is my camaro and at this point I'm tired of the red calipers (can't really see in the photos) time to repaint them. I'm thinking either Yellow calipers with black brembo letters, or black calipers with red brembo letters. Please give me some suggestions and your opinions thanks guys.

defenitly yellow. I've seen black calipers before and they aren't noticeable at all while driving or while sitting still. yellow will pop

Agreed, if you're going to go to the trouble of painting your calipers they should be noticable. Black won't draw the eye at all.
I went with yellow calipers and black Brembo decals too:

Yellow.
I like the all black Brembo decals above better, but mine are identical to the factory Brembo/ Chevy decals off eBay. |

That color is amazing, did you guys paint them yourself or have someone do it for you? Where can I find that color yellow?

I bought them off eBay. I ordered both Silver and Black because I wasn't sure which was going to look better. Obviously went with black though.

I got the paint at Napa and had them mix VHT Engine/Caliper Enamel to match Camaro Rally Yellow. I also got VHT primer and clear coat from Napa as well. All were rattle spray cans.

I have a 2014 which is Bright Yellow. I can't decide if I should do the calipers the same yellow or go with Rally Yellow. The Rally is a little darker. What do you guys think? |

I would strongly recommend yellow ones. Black look like nothing when your not staring at the wheel. I think on your car,grey with black rims, yellow will look great.
Just make sure you wipe them down maybe twice a week since the brake dust is more noticeable. But that shouldn't be hard with your wheels since I haven't yet got rid of my god awful steelies )-; The reason I chose red is the exact same you can't really see them very well and everybody's got em. Well not everyone...

I'm painting my calipers in the morning & I'm pretty excited about the outcome. I'm going with a royal blue'ish color & white brembo decals on my summit white 2014. The wheels are plasti-dipped black as well
