Hey guys, I've been going through tons of colors for my brake calipers
And finally decided gold or yellow. The problem is I cannot find the rite gold. Some are too orange, some are too mustard, some are too silver, I cannot find the perfect color! But I can get Porsche yellow for my calipers. What do you guys think? Gold or yellow calipers? If you know any golds that look good please let me know! Ive been to a few auto paint shops and still can't find the rite swatch.

This is my favorite color


Most of the paint looks like this, too silver


Or like this, too brown/mustard

 

Do you have a side shot of your car so i can see the wheels and overall theme you already have going

 

Here you go, wheels are going to be changed soon to a dark graphite.

 

imo i dont think the gold will flow with the rest of the car. I had gold wheels and i just couldnt tie it in with the rest of the car. But if you wanna do gold would you conisder painting the calipers black with a gold flake then doing gold lugs for your wheels?

 

Plan was gold calipers, gold lugs, and gold in the headlight. What do you mean by gold flake on black?

 

black with a gold mettalic flake in it, that way it will really pop in the sun at angles

 

What about this one Doggy, too bling?

 

i like the sti brake color

 

Me too. Almost bronze-ish

 

I suggest going to a collision shop in your area and asking them if you could look through their gold "color chips." Pick out one that you really like and ask for the "code" for that paint chip. Then go to an automotive paint supply company and tell them what "code" you need mixed, in the paint line of your choice, and spray it out of a gun. The automotive paint supply company has to have the capability to mix paint in house. I'm not talking Autozone or anything like that. Good luck! P.S.- my vote is def gold as well. That first gold is my favorite

 

this is whats up^^

 

I went to a local paint shop and the guy was very unhelpful, he had no idea about any of the paints he carried. He was new I guess. I want the color gold in the first photo but I need a good shop that knows their colors. There's so many golds in the basf catalog I was looking at that I wasn't sure what gold it was. Stupid brembo keeps their colors secret too. z gave way to g are there any golds that you know of? And what about yellow, that's my second choice

 

I'm with you on the gold choice man. GL!

What about Top Secret Gold?

 

^ this .... And change the wheels up with a darker color and match the headlights and grille emblem to the brakes.

 

the gold on the brembos in the first picture is money... cant you get it color matched at a local paintshop?
