I am going to powder coat my calipers and would like some input on some various colors. I am thinking of the following: red, (slightly overdone) argent silver, yellow, or maybe a super high gloss black.

High gloss black, I like adding detail and refining our cars but not drawing to much attention to any one part of it's overall Badassedness.

I too am looking to pc my covers, and also the upper intake.
Just wonder it that would be overkill to have them both black.
Any comments, or if anyone has done this combo I'd like to see a picture.

How much tear down are you going to have to do to have the calipers powercoated? There have been a few members here that have epoxy color coated their calipers while they were still on the car that yielded pretty good results.

Mine are blue,... but gloss black sounds pretty cool.

gloss black is a killer, BUT brake dust will show up greatly
White noise is back to stage 2.5
red is no more funner to hide brake dust.

What color MM do you have? It would help with my suggestion. But the black is a good alround chioce.
I will have to completely remove them. The good thing about powdercoating is that it resists most chemicals and will not fade. And...you can blow off the brake dust with a high pressure air line. Last a lifetime.
My mm is black.

I think red calipers would be good.

I made my calipers Ford Blue, but I think that Black would also be great.

Anyone do caliper decals? I did them on my 6 and they turned out nice. Everone swears up and down it appears like a factory perfomance package. I have better picts but can't post them till I get home from work...in the morning.
