Need Advice - Painting Calipers
So, I have seen a lot of the 8's with the painted calipers. I have a winning blue rx8, and was looking into this, although I dont know what color I want. I do know im against the red. Does blue look okay with this? Does anyone have this done with the Winning Blue 8? Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Silver on Nordic Green...
I have a Nordic Green, and painted my calipers silver. You just can't go wrong with silver, since it is a neutral color. Doesn't stand out, just cleans up the look. I've always thought gold calipers would look good on a blue. Try a search? Here's mine:

Wow I'm SO glad my thread on calipers came up. Anyways, I painted my blue 8 with a metallic sapphire blue enamel paint. Similar to what Neit jnf suggested (make sure its the type that is used in modelling and that can withstand firing in a kiln). It was pretty cheap and I braved it and painted the calipers with a brush through the rims (very carefully). The picture of the front brake with winter rims is actually VERY close to what it looks like in real life.
