I was thinking about painting the calipers on my copper red 8, but I'm torn on what color would look best. It seems to me that the only two that make any sense are silver and black. Silver would be decent, but it would just blend in with the bright Shinka wheels. Black would stand out a bit more, but I'm not sure if it would look good. Thoughts?

 

i say silver, it is waht soem stock 8 have now i think. black woudl also work but have you or are you planning on tinting your windows?

 

white

 

i painted mine red. it actually looks pretty sick..when they r clean lol

 

i did gold, and it looked good with stock wheels

 

+1 ^ Gold on Red

 

This is gonna sound strange, but I thought someone on here did a sort of metallic green and it actually looked pretty good. I remember seeing a photo of it on this site. I thought it would be hideous, but then when I saw the pic.....I said....."hey, that's not bad at all". Maybe you can find it? I'm still thinking about what other color I would do if I had the copper???????

 

Interesting idea, I hadn't thought of doing gold. Maybe I'll try a quick photoshop and see how it looks.

 

I'm assuming that wasn't on a copper red car. Green + red = Christmas!! And as much as I really love Christmas I don't think I want my car sporting the spirit year round

 

Any pictures, 06carbon8?

Mine came from the dealer painted silver.

 

i would do black, go with something simple and you won't be disappointed

 

my friend painted his calipers gold they look hot.

 

painted hers CLEAR. and SHE looks HOT

 

I'll be changing mine to blue soon.

 

black

 

Min are black with polak rx-8 stencils.. i love them.. with black rims coming on my brilliant black. Its going to be black on black on black... yes

 

Pic maybe?

 

Bling!

 

Yeah, I had read that some peoples' came painted in silver. I actually saw a couple cars at the dealer the other day that had the painted calipers. Mine, however, are still the flat gray metal. The silver looks pretty nice, but like I figured, gets lost a bit in the shiny silver wheels. Maybe black with the RX-8 stencil would look nice.

 

I am in the middle of painting mine black... I want stencils but I want Mazdaspeed not RX8

 

Silver with Mazda, RX8, or Mazdaspeed stenciled in copper red

 

No worries I found the stencils YAY

 

silver or gold - either will work. Gold will bring too much attention to your stock brake calipers. Silver will look clean and subtle.

 

its already silver..

 

I think the Hot Purple is a good color.
