Hi, I have a Dark Green Maxima, and I was trying to figure out a good color to paint the brake calipers that would go along with the color of my car. Any suggestions?

If you don't want it to be too flashy, go with black. I know that seems kinda stupid, but a deep glossy black would look really good up close, and not to flashy from far away. Dark green would produce the same effect. If you want flash, then I'd go with red, yellow, or white? I don't think I have ever seen white callipers before on a max. That would be interesting.

My car is Black Emerald and I went with yellow Folia Tec laquer. Looks almost brand new after close to four years old.

I think you should go with aluminum painted calipers.. Not too flashy and looks great! Ever seen Kaleb's calipers? Half Black / Half Aluminum... very nice

YUK!

I have a 4th gen that is black emerald. I had yellow and my car started to remind me of a John Deer tractor! I switched to bright, gloss red and it looks GREAT!
