Default Need Help choosing a color!!!

Ok so I decided to paint my brake calipers on my 04 monte and I need help choosing a color. Considering my car is a unique color of blue and silver it's hard to pick a color to match the body. I was thinking yellow to help accent the yellow paint on my tires but i'm not sure if it's too much. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

I think yellow would loot pretty good. Do you have a pinstripe on the monte? If you do you could paint it the color of the pinstripe.

No unfortunately I don't have a pin stripe, I thought about it but once again couldn't decide on a color I am really leaning toward the yellow. I just hope it'll go with the blue since it's a light blue

Zzapultimate has a good idea there. When a caliper also has a caliper bracket, I like the 2-tone effect. I had mine powder coated red and black (works well together).

I think you're best off going 2-tone to make the "pop" a little more and look goof. Black and silver (or silver and black) would be a good neutral set up. Red might not pull off well with your Monte, especially sporting yellow lettering on the tires, so yellow with black or silver may be a good combo.

I think yellow would go good with the lettering on your tires.
