Yellow Caliper Pics
Alright fellas,
I searched high and low on different caliper colors. I'd like to see some yellow caliper pics against MB body paint. Most of the links I came across were either broken or against VR paint.
I have to admit that red calipers look cool against MB. However yellow may prove to be the 'new red'.

I think yellow on an MB would look great. It's not too far off the original British racing green, which looks great w/ yellow.... note also that all of the high-end Porsches don't come with "big reds" anymore, they come with big er.. yellows.
i think it IS the new red.

I wanted to paint mine but wanted something more subtle than yellow or gold. I chose a nice champagne color that is a little darker than a true gold 
Not a good pic of the calipers I know but you can see them.
As dirty as my wheels get from brake dust yellow would look constantly filthy anyway. This color doesn't look so bad when it's dirty

a carrera GT would still be hot with purple calipers though. i hadn't thought of montego as similar to british racing green. i was thinking more along the lines of all the kids who decided 93 civic teal and yellow went so well together and what the hell they were thinking.
yellow the new red hmm. you could be right. well hell, paint them calipers yellow Gen2n3 and let us know.

my '85 gsl IS yellow and i'll be upgrading the brakes. this got me thinking about painting the calipers. i've never done that before, and usually people seem to paint them red for some reason....
what do you guys think about painting capilers yellow, on a yellow car?. im starting to think it might look kinda sweet....one thing i would NEVER do is paint the wheels yellow. that's just discusting in my opinion anyways
what do you think? yellow calipers if the car is yellow?

How about just getting a brand of brakes that includes the color of caliper you want (i.e. Brembo for red, ENDLESS for blue, HKS for purple[if they even make brakes]) Of course, this will be pricey.
