Caliper color on Shadow Gray Metallic?

We picked up a new 2019 Shadow Gray Metallic A10 ZL1 a couple of weeks ago. We were talking about painting the calipers. Problem is we have no idea what color to paint them. We both agree that red may not be the best choice with the car’s paint. What are your thoughts on color?

Depends on whether you want them to pop or not. I say if you are going to paint them, make sure they get noticed. I like the 50th anniversary orange, it makes a statement without going over the top.

They are already painted a nice gray... I do still like red though.

I'd go different from the norm - yellow.

Agreed. On that color, I’d do something loud.

Put in a request in the Photoshop thread - really helped me a lot in deciding.

I also would love yellow, or blue like a zr1 would look cool too. Is that your 4th gen?

That’s the detailer’s car that put the Opticoat on. I have a 4th gen SS though.
