pic request
 

Hey guys i'm just wondering if anyone has pics of a montego blue fd with red calipers. I'm thinking about painting my calipers...however i'm not sure how the red will look alongside the montego blue. Thanks guys.

Here ya go

thanks man looks good. i'll probably go through with the red calipers.

what kind of paint did you use?

Hi-temp red engine paint from Advance Auto

Duplicolor sells a kit now which is very durable. Pep Boys, ect

what wing is that

Looks like Racing Beat Type I.

Nice ride up there.

I think on the darker FD colors, BB and MBM, sideskirs look about 100x better. It doesnt look so tacked on.

I had red calipers on my MBM FD for a few years, and then bead blasted it off and went with yellow. Both look really good, but to me yellow stands out a BIT better....

Not sure if you had what you needed so here is a pic of my car not long after I got it (I'd just built the garage so it is REALLY bare...don't laugh!) with red calipers and then another pic a few years later with yellow calipers. This at least gives you an idea of what the two look like on a car with stock wheels (not sure what you have).

I like the yellow calipers above. Like mine:)

Sorry to hijack, but i got a red FD and not sure whether to use red caliper paint or the gold, like the Brembos on 350z/G35, they look clean and not too flashy...anyone got a pic of a red fd with different variations...

thanks for the link, but there are very few pics to base a decision on, i mean the polished one's look awesome, but the gold one, you cant really see, would love to see more...if you know what i mean...

Red should go with Gold. Red with red will make it look a bit cheap. it needs some contrast
