What caliper paint is closest to the Lazer Blue?

[Boozenbar]

I did a bit of a boo boo and painted my brake calipers yellow on my blue MP3. They turned out BRIGHT yellow. They are very flashey but they are overkill imo. The other thing is that they show grime / brake dust easily.

Can someone (who has done it) please tell me exactly what blue paint they used? I would even like to do the anodized looking blue that a couple of you have done, the bright yellow is just to much of a rice look.

Before you ask, I will not post pics of my poor baby in this condition!

Thanks in advance for your help,

Why not try red? Not as flashy as the yellow but still stands out. I've seen pics of a laser blue with red calipers...looked great.

I dont want to do red cause I am trying to keep the colors to a minimum. I already have yellow in the engine compartment so thats why I tried it.

i found this stuff at autozone i think or somthing like that
it stuff stuff called
Plasti-kote Anodozit

I also say do them in red. Just paint the yellow strut brace red. If you don't want to do that, just swap it with a P5 for a yellow one, that's how I got my yellow strut brace.

What paint did you use for the caliper paint?

He also has yellow hoses.

Oh yeah, didn't notice. ok, forget my last post


edit: Hey, is he calling me rice? (boom06)

Took off my blue gorilla lug locks and the calipers look much better. The two colors on the wheels (or that area) was just to much. Will also look better once I change to the clear side markers. Will try to post some pics this weekend.

Thanks,
