Not sure what color to go with....Anyone do light blue calipers (like "Jetstream blue"), with IBM? Any pix?

Not crazy about red with blue.

I went with IBM, but if you want them to stand out I think ABM or Jetstream Blue would look sharp! I know the pictures aren't the best, but they are what I had available.

Orange and blue always looks killer

I like red on any color (except maybe IOM). It's a classic sport brake color.

In any case, yellow or orange also look good if you want them to stand out. Silver for the stock appearance. Or black or IBM to blend in.

I wouldn't go with a different shade of blue, unless you are using that same color as an accent elsewhere on the car.

OP - I have been trying to select the right color for over a year.

I am leaning towards a burnt orange look like the Nissan GTR, but I havent found anyone that can powdercoat that color.

I'm going with a metallic yellow/gold same color as my hood spears and side stripes .

Austin45 · 05-30-2013, 10:23 PM

I would go yellow, it's a good alternative to red.

I like Sunset Orange Metallic myself.

I am going to get custom center caps for my wheels...I'm thinking of getting blue bowties on them (as close to jetstream as I can), and see how I like the color combo.

thanks for all the input and pix guys....decisions, decisions.

Mindz...do you have a picture of them on the car?

I went with persimmon orange from Mike the powdercoater and they look really good behind my black wheels. I also couldn't find the GTR color either but very happy with the persimmon orange.
