Want to make Ebony stand out a little more.
What do folks think look best for caliper color for a Black MM?
Any photos appreciated!
Product recommendations?

I like the red as well. Barry/CRUZTAKER did his in Royal Blue and those looked very good too.

Ebay el-crapo rotors which I replaced and went back to stock. The car wouldnt stop. The stock pads and rotors worked much better.

If you want the calipers to standout go with RED

I'm going to have the rear calipers powdercoated black to match the front Wilwoods.

Personally, I think red would look great.

I'd trade my red stockers for any of the Wilwood setups. Red really pops but I like that blue on the black cars.

I had my calipers black. It was OK. Looked good at first but as it lost its shine they no longer stood out. The winter weather has KO'd the paint so I need to do something with them this spring.

I do like that Ford blue but it doesn't really match anything else on the car unless you have painted the cam covers or something.

I was thinking of going a with a slightly darker blue. Has anyone done that?

I know someone on here has purple calipers too.

My favourite that I've seen so far were polished, with red lettering. Probably on this site somewhere, but, sorry, I'm too lazy to look right now.

I used Duplicolor "Red" 1500 degree, they look good but I think I'll clear coat them.

Was thinking about silver, i have the paint but not sure if i like the silver or red. I would like to see silver, but i have the feeling it would not pop and look like new stock palipers.

G2 red for me. The nice thing about red is you can see it clearly even at 55 with a relection off another vehicle.
