Anyone painted their calipers on IOM cars
I am really going back and forth on what color to do my calipers. I keep thinking red so it will stand out against the IOM. I have an RS/SS so the SS letters are red and it can play into that if I paint them red. But then everyone has red so I thought to do IOM to match the car. Any pics of IOM with any color painted caliper except black are very welcome. And opinions on what you would do.

Red clashes with orange. It wont standout, itll look like it tried to match, but didn't.
I would go with IOM paint match, with silver or black brembo decals. Unless you have orange wheels or some other accent color, then maybe white or silver, or something. Electric blue can work with orange. Here are my CRT matched calipers

We are very limited on calipers paint options. Local auto supply stores typically carry only 3 colors - red, blue and yellow. I have to be honest I do not know what "IOM" means. I have a black Porsche and the caliper covers are red. I want to change them but the color options is a problem.
Maybe blue on the Porsche but I am just not sure. I picked yellow for my camaro, painted them myself then ordered yellow SS emblems all the way around and I couldn't be more pleased. I love black and love yellow so I was glad of how things turned out. I like to be unique and red is so overly used just like red cars are saturated in the market. I wish I had a suggestion for you on color but I would start looking around online or wherever and see what true options you have making the calipers pop. Creativity is good to make them look superb.  Quote:

Just want to point out that all 1LEs come with red calipers irregardless of the car color.

Use the search function because this has been discussed several times. They are easy to paint using high temp paint and you can buy the same decals off Ebay. I did mine in white.
