Calipers Yellow?

So I was thinking of painting my calipers yellow cause I have a yellow cobalt and I'm doing it yellow/black. So any idea on how this would look? And if anyone has done this pics would be greatly appreciated!

Agreed. I want to paint my girls front calipers yellow on her Cobalt too, but I figured the dust would totally make it look like ass. I just did mine up in black.. Any pics of the yellow?

Is the G2 stuff color matched? Cause a different shade of yellow would just be tacky.

Did one yellow didn't like the yellow shade

I am going to paint over the top and see if color match paint will work on top of the lame yellow from the can. Brake dust doesn't seem to be that much of a problem but I have yellow paint on the inside of my aftermarket wheels that turns black every week.
I was using duplicolor yellow. I would take some pictures but camera is broke for now.

with the G2 you have to mix 2 cans of stuff together. What happens when you paint witht he g2 is that the paint hardens. And yeah there is brake dust on it but it wipes off easily and looks brand new again. G2 is more expensive btw

Make sure you clean the calipsers real good before you do it though. If you're worried about it, black is always a safe bet..
