Blue Calipers yay or nay? White camaro with blue stripes - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am thinking about painting my calipers with the dupli-color blue paint and then getting white Brembo vinyls to go over top. I honestly think it would look awesome with the blue stripes. Yay or Nay?

Rhyder · 01-21-2013, 05:36 PM

I think they would look good, if they don't you can always paint them something different, not like its a huge out of pocket if it doesn't work.....

But with what your going with I think it will look good, plus it will stand out as different...I say do it...

CamaroRBT · 01-21-2013, 05:37 PM

Alright. Thank you for your input!

Cheap. Paint and vinyls less than $50. Just takes time and heat both of which i wont have till spring...

RobertHarriSS · 01-21-2013, 06:09 PM

Yeah man, it flows nicely with your stripes & bowtie.

KSX · 01-21-2013, 06:31 PM

Do it!!

rdblan2 · 01-21-2013, 06:32 PM

I think that would look awesome.

Just make sure the blue is the blue you want. Some folks did blue (I think it was blue) with the G2 system and it looked a little purple. I'm sure if you dig around on here you'll find someone that's done blue with the duplicolor!

ssmike · 01-21-2013, 06:37 PM

Oh hell ya! That would look killer! My only concern would be that the vinyl lettering would peel off because brake calipers can get pretty hot. You may want to clearcoat over the lettering!

kosmo · 01-21-2013, 06:43 PM

Do it! You won't be sorry!

CamaroRBT · 01-21-2013, 06:55 PM

Did you use dupli-color? That looks tasty!!!!

kbeery · 01-21-2013, 07:06 PM

Do it! Eventually im painting mine synergy green on my black camaro

midnightwarrior · 01-21-2013, 07:17 PM

When I did my calipers orange I did two at a time and used space heaters for 12 hours per set of calipers. Dried nicely by the time I put the car back together.

Oh and go for the blue. White and blue are one of my color combos.

2010 SSRS · 01-21-2013, 07:20 PM

definitely do it
