it makes sense to go red because your back brake lights are red and it flows well with the car then

 

I am just saying, if you want them to stand out nothing will stand out like orange. Go with an orange that is on the red side. It would be subtle but have the same effect.

 

^^ sexy rims man.

 

Red looks great, on a black/gray/white/yellow car. But it doesn't look quite right on blue.

Here's some pics of Red Calips with blue SS/SC

it makes sence to go ORANGE because your FRUNT REFLECTORS are ORANGE and it flows well with the car then

 

i think orange will stand out, but not in a good way.

who were you refering to?

lol.

 

Honestly, don't go orange. I did mine in orange and they look ok but you have to spray on the orange because there isn't a high temp brush on and it's a pain in the ass to tape everything off. Then you have to worry about getting all the calipers to get a nice even color. It's rough. I've been debating on redoing mine black, although I have to admit the orange looks sexy ass hell and I have gotten TONS of compliments and it's only been on a week.

I do think orange would look ok, but it's out there and definately not for everyone. Personally if I were you I'd go blue because color matched looks the best or black. Red is sort of played out and honestly I don't think it looks great on blue.

 

white, at first it was a joke, but i think it would actually look kinda good. Yes, they will get dirty really fast, but just as fast as yellow. And when they are clean they will look really sharp.

 

lol i have orange it is the G2 paint off ebay works perfect for my orange ss!!!!

 

I think that chop is not bad and it is an orange that is on the red side... it does not even look THAT orange...

 

I was referring to you. I guess alot of people were posting between the time I opened thread and posted.

 

well thank you.

 

how do i lift the car to paint the calipers if i dont have a jack and jack stands?? also does the "key" to my rims fit in the orginal thing to take off the lug nuts?

 

Go buy a jack and some jack stands. lol You can get a decent set pretty cheap. I suppose if you are the ultimate tight ass you could use the jack that came with your car but for the love of God put something under the car incase it falls. Obviously you would have to work one wheel at a time that way but it still won't take long.

Seriously though go get a jack and stands set.

 

i found a neighbor that will lend me his jack stand. do i need a special tool to get the lug nuts off the car. i have a key to the rims

 

no special tool needed. You should have a lug nut wrench in your trunk with the jack. Wait do you have aftermarket rims? If so you may want to go to autozone and get something with a deep socket so that you don't scratch anything.

 

yes i have aftermarket rims. they came with a locking key. its on all the lug nuts. will this still be able to be used by the stock lug nut wrench?
