Hi all, I'm new to this forum and hopping to get all my questions answered with all yalls feedback. I was wondering what colors do you guys think would look nice to powdercoat the beautiful 135 break calipers with? Any pic would be much appreciated too! I was thinking of a lime green or simple brembo red?

Why color are your wheels and car? You need something that will contrast with them nicely

I would go with pepsi blue, just like the new M5

I've seen your bro. They look great! I would do yellow but I fear break dust will show up faster... Plus I want something pretty loud and out there lol

Haha. Honestly, the brake dust isn't that visible believe it or not. Lime green would look great!

Part of the question was what color is you CAR. "Stock" is not a good answer for that.

I would go RED regardless of the color of your car. GL

Red is great, even on non performance brakes
