You got it!
That was one of my 3 options. The goldish. Whichever color I do, will have flakes in it

here is a link to my caliper paint job in Redskins colors. also like John91 said gold with metallic flakes would look really good aka the Georgia Tech helmet color.

Well, I may be doing a brake setup for my 37 soon enough. Already talked to my body shop who will powdercoat them, but I need some ideas on colors. Looking to see if the forum can change my mind from the color I currently have thought of.
The car is Graphite Shadow which will have a full chrome delete (completed soon). Black/Grey. More of a sport look than classy.
Again, these are just my opinions.
Red = Too Common.
Purple = Already seen someone with it.
Teal = Seen on coupes - I like it.
Yellow = I like it.
Burnt Orange = Something I haven't seen.
Green = Some family of green. Haven't seen.
Color Matched = Dont want to in this case.
Other = List what you got.

How much is the body shop charging you? To take wheels off, sand down the brakes, paint brakes, install, etc. they are going to charge me $300.00. 2 day process at my shop in Jacksonville, FL.
You think that is a fair price?
Thanks

lol, college football at its finest.
I am thinking of doing the same with my '09 G37s sedan. Going to match the caliper with exterior color of the vehicle (Red/Red).

When I painted them originally they were a little bit of a brighter reddish/burgundy as in current Redskins burgundy but as they heat cycled the color darkened slightly and took on a more purplish hue. I actually predicted this would happen and wanted it to happen since the color would then match the old school 1930s Redskins jersey color. So now I look pimp when I go to games on Sundays wearing my throwback Sammy Baugh jersey. If only I could look pimp after the game though... I just look forlorn and dejected. *sigh* Such is life as a Redskins fan.

lol.. only if I knew what every 'other' was.
Haha, R.G isn't doing that bad now. But, interesting nevertheless. You have anything else to do that will be burgundy? There is one thing I can think of.
If you do customize the headlights, do the shrouds (lowbeam) and turning signal burgandy, all in a black housing. It would look crazy, but it will match the calipers though haha

HAHAHA That's the most absurd but awesome idea ever. I would do it if I could find microfiber dreads that wouldn't scratch up the paint.
