sorry for bad pics

DOOK · 04-24-2008, 03:36 PM

what kind of gun? I mean, you did say caliber... if you're talking about calipers, as in the method of stopping most motorized vehicles, that is something totally different... in any case, go stealth and do them black.

dropemlow · 04-24-2008, 03:39 PM

lol sorry fixed it

punxva · 04-24-2008, 05:05 PM

lime green, or polish them out or chrome them, ballin man ballin

lol. what a dumbass.

MikeisNissan · 04-24-2008, 08:31 PM

.22 Caliber gold plated 24k. O and give us more details of the assassination.

IIIXziuR · 04-24-2008, 10:25 PM

Black or Gunmetal would look nice, like an OEM feel.
GL Gold would be nice too but may clash with the colour of the car.

jrbump · 04-25-2008, 05:20 PM

in before the investigation.

zylvia213 · 04-25-2008, 08:05 PM

I've always have liked the gold paint, but a gloss black looks nice to.

sileightyfreak · 04-26-2008, 11:09 AM

a good gloss black finish on the calipers would accent the wheels and color of ur car. i plan on doing gloss/ flat black on z32 calipers, hidden behind sum bronze te37's, on a oem red fast back.

also polish the nissan lettering, and put sum painters tape over the it and trim it out. paint the calipers and peel the tape of. thats how babies are born

s15specR · 04-26-2008, 01:23 PM

heres what mine look like

luisgonz · 04-26-2008, 01:29 PM

Well I think you should paint your calibers dorky purple and make it match the flux capacitor. Ok

zylvia213 · 04-27-2008, 12:47 AM

loving them silvia calipers ^^^ they look sick!

*handinpants* · 04-27-2008, 03:03 AM

Flat black? That's just about as bad as the rusty looking flat brown the stock ones look like already.

jussjepbrox · 04-27-2008, 03:52 AM

Red Or Pink...

Firestorm · 04-27-2008, 06:17 AM

gloss black, it's the only color for calipers...did mine the same color, everything else is way too flashy.

buku_points · 04-27-2008, 11:55 AM

why are you going to let other peeps opinion effect the way you want your car too look? then your gonna end up rolling around the saying " oh bunch of people online told me to do it so i did." no originality.

bigOdom1 · 04-27-2008, 12:31 PM

clearly he wants it to be one of the colors in the poll. he is trying to see if anyone might be able point out something he has not thought of. like this. jason the red caliper might look totally different cars color than red, there fore i would say silver, or black; silver will get dirty quick though

adrians_s13 · 04-27-2008, 01:32 PM

shinhed · 04-27-2008, 01:52 PM

I'd powder coat them...silver

EDacIouSX · 04-27-2008, 09:06 PM

if you wanna be a ricer and you're an attention whore paint them the brigtest color you can. if not then paint them a nice black

Hooorahh! · 04-27-2008, 10:26 PM

if the paint on ur car was nicer id say a glossy rewd with white/silver letters ...
since the paint is Orig. id say black

INeedNewTires · 04-29-2008, 12:26 PM

purple like the coilovers is my vote! no but really like someone said above, its YOUR car, what do YOU like?

i had a nice writeup on polishing my calipers, you can search for it under my username and you'll see the whole process, but mine are bling bling almost chrome now, and for very little coin....

JesusFreakDrifter · 04-30-2008, 07:39 PM

infinitexsound · 05-05-2008, 02:46 AM
