Blue or black caliper paint?
What do you guys think of a white ralliart with dark blue or black caliper paint instead of the red? I wonder how it would look? What is your opinion?

well your engine bay is red,
blue just doesnt flow, and black, will have to be a glossy black
but since we have red seats and engine bay is red, i would go with red,

I just painted mine black a few days ago... I like it, not noticeable like red is, but my wheels are going to be black so it will look good. BTW I used the duplicolour caliper paint kit... They give you enough paint for about a thousand cars though!

It seems to last quite long too, I thought I would have to redo it after a year.

I think black will look fine, won't be that noticable really. I had mine painted yellow and it looked alright. Then just recently I painted them silver cause I got new wheels that are gunmetal color and didn't want the calipers to stand out as much.

Ralli, what color is your car? I think black could look pretty good. I've been thinking of doing so myself... but it would probably only be worth the hassle if I got rims. Are you going for a color scheme or is most everything stock-looking?
