Caliper decal colour?
Hi,
I am going to paint or polish my calipers soon, and add some decals.
If I polish them, I will go with black decals.
If I polish them, will they look as shiney/the same, as my stock ws6 wheels?
If I paint them black, should I get chrome or silver decals to match my wheels?
Basically, I want the polish or decal to shine the same as the wheels.
What do you guys think?
I am leaning towards, black calipers with silver or chrome decals.
Thank for your thoughts,
Paul.

I know, lots of threads about colour combos. I guess it's a personal choice.
I went with black calipers and chrome decals to match the car, looks awsome if I do say so.
I will try to get some new pics tomorrow.

my aluminum decals from afterthoughts lasted about 10,000 miles before they started to peel and look like ****. im gonna get another set tho cause they looked really nice when they were new.
they didnt peel completely, but the corners of some letters starting coming up and it looks bad

Does anyone have any pictures of there calipers , I am in the process of doing mine now . I have decided to do them the hard way by polishing them and buffing them. They are starting to look really good but I am not very far along. I only started 1 caliper not a lot of time to do them after working all day, but this weekend I should get a good bit done. I would like to see other pics from other people to see how they turned out.
