My car isnt all black anymore, plus im not sure what color yellow you plan on using. The yellow on my car is GM competition yellow. Eitherway just do what you think looks best, if u dont like it its not hard to go back to the original color. You will get love/hate on anything you do lol. Can get a better angle of the wheel/caliper if needed.

shes far from finished...but as for the yellow she is lol. the end turnout will be much better. its something you have to see in person. But anyways going with the pictures of what you have i'd stick with what you got. car looks good. But if you do decide to go with it, you might want to order paint in an aersol can to spray them unless you have your own paint gun and what not. Most of the high heat paints are a very light yellow atleast from my findings.

I really like the body/caliper paint combo you have going there.

Anyways, Finally got around to taking some pictures of the calipers after paint. Turns out the rain actually did screw up the finish a bit so I've got more work to do. Gonna sand down to a smooth surface and put another coat or two on top this weekend. Ive got some left over black caliper paint to do the backs with and I might try to do some lettering on the fronts in black but thats for another day. Heres a pic as of now.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I finished up the front calipers with the G2 Yellow caliper paint kit. Initially a random rain shower skrewed up the finish. I came back at it today, sanded a little and repainted. I think it came out a lot better. Heres some pics.

Still debating about doing some black lettering on the face. What do you guys think?

Must say it turned out pretty nice. Now that I've seen it on the car I see where you were coming from with the yellow, lol

I probably would look ok in real life, if the yellow wasnt so faded.


edit: just saw the real pics not the photoshop and it looks fine to me

What kind of paint/name did you use on your calipers? I had to settle for "Daytona Yellow" by Rustoleum or something I think. And yeah i have the black housing headlights with halo's coming in for the car, shorty antenna, but I'm not going to drop it because the roads where I live are ****. Thinking a different 5 spoke wheel with a machined lip and black spokes too.

I used the G2 caliper paint kit. You can get like 8 different colors depending on what you want. Im pretty sure it was just called yellow. (No specific name.) Anyways, it only cost like 30 bucks or something and was super easy if you take your time and be careful to mask things off. I have no experience painting and I am fairly satisfied with the results.
