Hey Peoples,
Well most people will not think that this is a real dilema, however I am getting my Volks painted Mag Blue and really love the way the Project Mu calipers color looks against the Blue. So here it is, I have a Baer Brake system and was thinking about painting the calipers the same tone of green/aqua/blue as Project Mu.

So what do you guys think? if not that color any suggestions.

I provided links to picks from google searches

Wow I am surprised no comments, criticism, bashing...nothing.
I posted on IA since I know that people have lots of opinions on here.

Oh well I guess my topic is not interesting enough.

Peace

I think its gonna look good. Do your thing and don't worry bout what other people think! 80% of the people's opinions on here have no merit anyways.

Appreciate the comment. I know most people have a rant or crazy opinions. I was hoping that some people would make some opinions, bashes... whatever comes to there mind about it. It seems sometimes when people make comments it make your own opinion stronger. Sounds crazy I know.. I do in 99% of cases what I feel is nice or what makes me feel comfortable, however it seems that this one is kind of questionable. It seems that maybe calipers are off the bashing block since they make so many colors. However Project Mu seems to have almost "patented" that color.. so it throws me off a little.


Thanks for the comments

I'm not sure if that wheel color would look good on a orange car.
White maybe?

yeah, i don't think that the blue will look good on the orange. but if you don't try it out how else would you know? I say go for it and if you don't like it paint them again.

Be baller and polish the calipers :goodjob:

Personally, I think blue, turquise and orange clash a little too much. The orange and blue work..but something more neutral should be used for the details...like the calipers/valvecover/misc. hardware.

Thanks guys for the comments.. I like the idea of polishing them. hmmm.... Sets it apart a bit. Will have to look into that,really! thanks

Here is a quick PS of what the wheels and the calipers on the car would look like. The black is a representation of carbon fiber... I know the carbon is not everyones taste.. but fire away. By the way this is a old pic the front has been converted to 2000.


Thanks

The blue, turquoise, and orange do not work together well. Blue wheels alone with the car look great though

the blue and orange are good. For the calipers u need another color choice. It's to off in color to blend in.
