Default Caliper color for Cement tC2?

So i'm having a tough decision on choosing a color to paint my calipers. Originally, i thought about going with G2's purple caliper paint. So far, i've had one person give me good feedback on that color choice, but would like to see what opinions you guys have. My only goal is to stay away from the basic Red calipers if possible . Thanks in advance

Yellow would be different, didn't think about that color combo. Any chance of a photoshopped image with yellow calipers Jon_D?

So far, from the side by sides, i think blue looks the best. Yellow is ok, but i think it would get dirty and show it easily lol. As for the purple, the only way i see it truly working out good is if it were a dark purple (which in turn would require mixing two paint sets to make that custom purple color).

Yeah I agree, I can make the purple one darker if you want but like you said you could only get it by mixing kits. I'm planning on doing the calipers, lug nuts, and center cap all blue like this
