Getting some red and yellow Duplicolor caliper paint tomorrow to do some test mixes. Crossing my fingers this can work.

I'm thinking a 60/40 yellow/red combination now to make lean toward the yellow orange side a bit more. I saw a McDonald's documentary last night that got me thinking. LOL.

Hopefully people don't try to race me with yellow calipers on. That subliminal "exotic" message might be coming on a little too strong for a V6.

I vote Red with the big Brembo stickers.

+1 for getting them coated by Mike@thepowdercoater. Over an year without any color change or chipping or anything.

Here's a modded version of the yellow caliper, made to more closely resemble the Ferrari version.

This is an approximate mix of 3 parts yellow to 1 part of red caliper paint:



What do you all think?

Thanks for your input Khmero215! Did you mean the original post's yellow or the updated one? Really leaning towards the new one *if* I can get the paint mixed right..

I vote yellow! I have white and they are not hard to keep clean at all. Actually they've never looked dirty (they get dirt on them but never look dirty)....so the yellow will be just the same and will stay clean.

Just put my order in for duplicolor red and yellow and will be attempting this soon. If a successful mix can't be done, straight up red is the next option
