Question about changing my painted calipers
i painted my calipers about a month ago in red and they came out great, but now i am thinking about re doing them in blue to go with my interior lighting theme, and also i dont think it would look to well when i add the oznium inferno underbody kit, so i would like to get some opinions if i should do it, and if i do what would be the best way of doing this re painting job..i will include below a link of the kit i want to use, which is the same as the red on my car now and various pics of my car, so you will get a better insight on giving me your opinion (keep it red or go blue)

I dunno... I don't think blue calipers would look that good. Unless you made them a darker blue. (Smurf blue would just look pretty odd... Ha ha.)
You could always just paint them black or grey, so they blend with the car and won't clash with the blue theme. Just an idea...
Good luck, whatever you decide to do!

hey i never thought of black.....it might look pretty good, and as for re painting them i contacted the company and they told me because they are made of an epoxy material, i would just have to scuff them up pretty good with sand paper or a wire brush, then paint them again and i should be good..they also sent me pics of there black, and blue colors....so do you guys still agree that going with the black would be better than the blue, or should i just leave them red


Yeah, I think your best bet is still black. If you wanted to get really fancy, you could paint 'em black with some sort of blue trim or just blue on some part, so it still accents your interior color theme.
Hope it works out well, whatever you do!

Thank you everyone for your input, i have decided to paint them black, it should look good with the Oznium:
- Inferno - Million Color LED UB Kit.
- (2) FlowLighting Inferno 1-Foot Extension Tubes for the upper and lower grilles.
*now i am confident tha i will have a pretty sweet set up*

Now you know I'm gonna tell you to paint them blue!
If ya feel like waiting a couple of weeks you can see what mine look like and go from there. I've got the same kit you were looking at, just need some time.
