What colour should I have calipers done

[snowwolf]

I am in the process of fully refurbishing a set of VXR8 calipers and having them professionally painted and then will be sold, I am stuck as to what colour would be the best option for good resale interest, would people go for the original oem red or yellow just for a change of colour to their original red ?

If you dont want a roasting ,any colour except yellow.

Actually, I think that yellow would be a good option, as it goes really well with black, and someone may then buy yours to swap theirs (if you get what I mean). If you have them painted red, then most of your target audience will already have them on their car.

Doesn't Goldy want to do a caliper swap on his Ute?

Red.

[mik_ok]

Tartan?

[raving]

Oem Red with logo for the analists

Yellow - if only to get some more lively debate going

[Tattooboy]

Oi, what's wrong with yellow !!!

I'd do them exactly the same as you did the last set Snowy, Red with the HSV metal badge, looked brilliant

[jonnM]

Yellow + black decals

[SturdyHSV]

If you want an easy sale... Gold.

You know who I mean

not saying anything, just posting some pics for options. two you might recognise

Nice one James, I do like the yellow and red combination, red calipers just seem a bit dated now and every vxr8 came with red, just nice to add a bit of difference I think

[ArnieVXR]

Haven't both red and yellow been done to death?

Orange gets my vote. Now neither side can complain.

I am thinking of dipping mine blue to see what it looks like

Bit too much information and bit too personal. Might want to ask the other half first rather than on here

A lot smaller, and blue.

Decided to have them done yellow, I was still unsure even when I got to the powder coaters but the thing that swayed me from red was the guy that owns the place said "everyone does them red and its dated" I think he could be right, so yellow it is, should get them back next week, gives me time to get the HSV stainless steel laser cut decals sprayed black or my go mirror polished
