What color calipers for a MRM TA?

Well my TT IIs are off getting powdercoated with gunmetal centers. I was thinking I might as well get the calipers done at the same time. I was thinking of black with silver "trans am" lettering? I also thought red would look good behind the gunmetal wheels? Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Bob S.

Red, just makes them stand out. Second choice would be black.

I would go black with polished decals. Looks real clean but doesn't jump out. Whatever you do, be sure to add a clear coat, makes a huge difference.

I did mine silver, but I've got a silver theme going. Plus depending on how the salad shooter is sitting, you can't even see the caliper. If there was a bright silver "Trans Am" caliper decal, I might even consider painting my calipers Maple Red and putting the silver decal on. Maybe incorporate both gunmetal and Maple Red onto the caliper. Just a thought....
