I'm trying to decide to paint my calipers. I want to do them white, but the folia tec laquer doesn't come in white. My calipers are white now, but the rust color came through, and they are always dirty. Is there any other way to do white? Or should I go red, using the Folia tec laquer.

BTW, my rims are white, and I have the "Starfire Blue" Paint.

Thanks,

How about Silver since the white didn't work too well.

silver would look really good with blue car... i think white
would look great but way too hard to keep clean..

How about blue?...something close to the color of your car. This should contrast nicely against your white rims.

yup yup, get a high temp engine paint the closest you can to your paint, it will look hot with white rims and stay fairly clean.
