Wife and I are debating back and forth on what color to do her brake calipers on her redfire GTCS.

I bought Black caliper paint for mine, but have not gotten around to doing them. IMO the red would clash, the yellow would look rice, and the blue is out for sure. That only leaves the silver and black. Since the calipers are already silver that takes silver paint out of the equation. So... go with black.

Sorry, no suggestions here. I just thought I'd post and say it must be pretty cool to have your car and your wife's GTCS in the garage........ wow!

Oh, thinking about it, I think that Eleanor Dreaming has his calipers painted- maybe PM him?

There's a tread here on the G2 kit, may give you some idea, however there are no redfire ones.... i personally did mine in black, but i have a black stang..... looks great! Just waiting for my white lettering graphics to arrive to complete the look. I can post pix if you would like.

My car is black and red was a good choice, but I am looking at black as well for her car.

Here are mine. Calipers

Done with DupliColor. I'm satisfied with the color but the durability is lacking. If I were to do it again, I would choose G2.

Well, they don't match, but nor do they clash, imo. I'd say they compliment each other quite well.

I think red would be just fine.

If you perfer a matchup. This will work if you were to go the spray route. Red heat base, a light mist of factory redfire, then a heat clearcoat.
