Painted Calipers! Thoughts?
Just painted the calipers. What do you guys think?

They look great... but, imho, if you're going to go yellow with that color car, I think you need to add some yellow striping or accents. Maybe some yellow stripes or spears on the hood. Its coming together...

To my eyes, the yellow clashes. I would have gone black or dark grey.

Kudos for trying something different than the typical red calipers. I think a slightly different shade, gold perhaps, would have had less of a clash. A tone similar to the Chevrolet bow tie; especially against black wheels, can look very classy.

I am a fan of yellow calipers, that is the color of mine. I do think it looks a little out of place though, I think it would look better with a darker color wheel.
this is what I had done and while the calipers stick out, I dont think they really clash but could be wrong

Not digging the yellow on that car. As long as you like though, nothing else matters.

The color of the car would have been better than yellow in my opinion. But as long as you like it. Good job though on the work.

I does bring your eye to the wheel for sure. Not what I would do but it your car and what makes you happy is what is important.
The work itself looks good. |
