I have a silver FTO with silver mags,
it has blue 8000k HIDs and blue interior stereo lighting..
however I'm still not sure what colour I should paint my calipers?

Blue would not look bad on silver.

My caliper color codings are wierd. At first I used blue which matched the body very well on one side, but then a friend of mine incepted me with the idea that gold calipers would look wicked on my car especially when the car is running! So now I have gold calipers on the other side.

Dno, :lol: I like the gold better, because compared to the blue, which blends in, the gold gives me a better impression that there is something there. Plus it seems like a nice contrast to my car color...

Thanks guys

So any suggestions on where to get the paint to use?
And what paint is good?
(I've been to supercheap and repco and looked at their caliper paint, but they didn't have blue!)
