So, I decided to paint my calipers tomorrow and I need some input on what color to go with... The classic red... Blue... or Yellow/Gold?

Here is the ride in question...

I think some gold calipers would look nice on it.

I think it is your car so do it whatever color you like.

If it were my car I would go gold. Red is so over done an honestly wouldn't match to well with your car color.

Although I think red calipers will never be overdone. On your color car and wheels, I vote gold/yellow.

if you go yellow, I would go for a more gold'sh hue... not too bright.

I love that color personally though (of your car) and would try to match that paint, otherwise I would go black...

Gold or bronze

I think you should do something different everyone does blue,red, or yellow. I painted mine lime green not many ppl have that color.

Gold will look hot.

I also have a gunmetal MZ3. I chose the G2 gold caliper paint and couldn't be happier with the appearance and the durability. They still look brand new since I did it about it a couple years back.

I attempted to paint the fog bezels gold as well, but as you can see, that looked very tacky for my taste, so I ended up buying a can of the gunmetal blue and used that to remove the out-of-place silver that comes standard. I also wrapped the fog with yellow vinyl and they are holding up nicely as well.

Good luck.

Thanks for all the input, everybody. I went with blue. I think I'm gonna go with gold when I do my next brake job.

Where did you get the paint match paint for you fog light bezels?

I got the gunmetal paint from ebay (I believe) for about $25.00. Sure it's expensive, but it is OEM paint in a spray can. You have to supply your paint code upon ordering. If you can't find it, google your paint number and I'm sure you'll come across vendors selling it.

What kind of color should go on a Crystal White Mica Mazda 3 for the Calipers? Cause my rims are all completely blacked out. Wanted to know what color the caliper should be with the blacked out rims. Any opinions?

Paint code is also on the Vin sticker on the driver door.

Red or white would be my opinions. The white would flow better with the color of the car. Sometimes you need that one off color too make the car pop which in case I would do them red.

Interesting... never thought of that when you put it that way.

That's just my opinion. My calipers are bright red. But I have a black and red themed car so it was a no brainer.
