hey, what color should I paint my calipers and rear drums? I've got a black 93 GXE with tint and clears, but I'm not sure what would look good.

i always thought black cars with white accents look phat.

well bepends on the shade of white. yellow looks nice to. but i would do it white if it was my car. or if you don't want to go all out then paint mit a really glossy black, so it stands out. my friend did that to his car it looks nice.

i think it looks stupid when people paint drums a stand out contrasting color. on callipers its not as bad. i am going to paint my rear drums black, that is until they get converted to disk this spring. the front calipers i am painting silver. red looks good on calipers as well.

i can see red. only if it shines.

it can't be to dull if your puting it on the calipers or brums because you wont notice it. thats why i said white. if you go with dark red put i really shiny clear coat on so you notice them. because whats the use doing it if noone see's it. thats like put ing a black light in your car and you have a black interior, waste of money

I have the same color Max. I was thinking silver/aluminum color with clearcoat for a nice gloss.
