I am going to be ordering g2 caliper paint kit here soon and next week i will be doing them along with my rear disc swap and two other secret mods since everyone is doing secret mods these days lol
just kind of want some opinions on what color would look best? Im kind of leaning towards purple but then again i dont know if its going to match the plum crazy lip on my rims, which makes me want to paint the calipers black...maybe someone could photoshop it for me?
opinions will help too
(photoshop by sidepipe, havent got a good picture with the plum crazy lip)

i think the purple would pop a bit more for sure... i doubt it would match perfect... but imo i think it would look good in purple

If you have the calipers off the car you could get them powdercoated instead of using the paint kit. I know the p.c'er by me had a purple very similar to the one on your wheels.

I think purple, even if it matched, would take away from the wheels.

Purple will actually make the wheels stand out a little bit too much. But it's still fine.
