    Question What colour to paint the brake calipers?

    Hi Guys

    After shining up the Marauder I noticed how pitiful the brake calipers (rear shown) looked through the wheels so was wondering what colour if any you all think I should paint them?



    Regards

    Dereck

    +1, it's not an option in the poll, but I think Blue would look sweet. (I'm sure Casy or Joe will come along and change my post since I included poll and blue)

    Question Calipers

    Do you really want to copy what they have been doing on Porsches and Corvettes for years?

    Second thought, what about chrome???

    I have never seen green so how 'bout British racing green. Have you powdercoated your cam covers? If you did I'd go with that color.

    I voted red but until I saw SC Cheeshead's pic I'd reconsider. Blue would look great especially on a DBP or SB
