Need Advice!!!!

I bought a dupli-color kit for painting my calipers. I have a 05 arrival blue balt. and i bought blue paint. i am considering taking it back to get red. what do yall think?? dont know what to go with. i think red will look good and give the car more taste, and im afraid that blue will be to much blue on the car and not stand out as much.

I think the red would go good with your car. It should give it more of a sporty look

you could always try yellow or orange for the calipers.

you could do orange, just paint them with GM color match paint and then put a clear coat on them.

go with black, it will look sick.

Boo! Dont go with black. Go with the red man. Darker colored cars (not just black) go well with red accent. I saw a gun metal evo with red calipers and thats the first thing that caught my eye.

becuase black and blue go well together, it all depends on what rims you have on your car, if you have rims with bigger gaps and you can see the calipers well, then i think black looks cool. if you have smaller gaps then a brighter color would look good. I have a red car with red calipers and i love them.

red works well with red, blue, and black only. Glad that helps. it would only be sweeter if you can see them better

Lame... if you are looking to make them "stand out more" ORANGE will do it... orange is the opposite color of blue (contrasting color) it would POP big time.

Everyone does red... it is lame.

IMO orange on a blue balt will not look very good
