So I'm getting ready to send my calipers out to get powder coated but I cant decide what color to do. My tl is Abyss Blue Pearl. I wanna hear some of your opinions on what color would go. Thank you...

thoiboi

Hot pink would really pop

I personally think Silver/grey, Yellow, or Magma-Neon Orange would look sick.

any color would be hot!!!

lol, I know its a personal decision. I just wanted to get some feedback from others. I'm stuck on either orange or white and just wanted to see what some would say. that's all

nismotypeS

Burnt copper or teal

Burnt copper or white

RDX10

Between orange and white I would go orange all the way. White may start looking dirty and grimy especially if brake dust gets on it and kinda attaches to it. I think orange would hide that a little better. Regardless make sure to show us what you do.

TacoBello

I think gold calipers with the dark blue paint would look pretty cool.

zdxsr

Red, burnt orange or gold.

RDX10

With gold badges! That would look sick!!

OP it appears to me that most people here are leaning towards the red-orange-yellow side of the spectrum.

Thank you everyone that has voiced their opinion. I really appreciate it. With that said, I believe I'm gonna go with a orange powdercoat. I will def post up pictures after I get them back and when I put them on the TL.

hey man

haven't seen you on here in a minute lol.

you and the girl still got the TLs??

As far as the calipers go, I'm in similar boat as you. I bought a set of RL calipers and i think I'm set on coating them white and matching the lettering same blue as the car. I think it would look dope.

I thought about orangey/burnt copper kind of thing, it would look great but I feel you'd almost have to go back to stock headlights with the amber for it to look good or at the very least type-s headlights.

Curious to see what you do and how it ends up looking. Be sure to update

:edit: I can't really tell but it looks like you still have the amber in your headlights lol

thoiboi

No one likes hot pink?

TacoBello

Orange seems like such a clash with dark blue paint.

Burnt copper would look sooo good

hey bro!!! What's going on? I'm still on here but I haven't been on as much because my wife is about to have the baby any day now and I've been busy working on the baby's room and stuff. But yes, we both still have the tls. They are not going anywhere, lol.
The calipers color has been suchaving a tough decision for me. As you know, my wife has the AM color and I got her brembo calipers powder coated white with pink Acura decal a while back. She loves it. But for me, I was just stuck on either white or orange. I do have modded headlights that were made to look like the type s lights so the amber is there. I'm actually getting 2 sets of oem type s headlights to switch out to on both tls.
So I think the orange should be good to go. I'm just not sure what color the decals should be, black or white? But I still have some time to think about it.
How is your tl doing?

I actually did think about pink. It goes well with a blue car. But I think the pink would look better on the type s blue. But I do appreciate your opinion.

ATN

I've been thinking about doing White on my KBP but I'm just worried that it would get dirty too quickly. Dark orange on blue does seem reasonable especially with the orange in the headlights.

MyGuti

op why are you buying two sets of OEM type-s headlights if you have a modded pair to resemble type-s headlights? just curious....maybe interested in your modified set if you putting it up

bluetl04

iTrader: (4)

I have always loved the type s headlights. The main reason why I'm switching is because I want the dual circles in the headlights.

tl is doing good , stored for the winter. It needs alot of maint items looked after this season....i got that shitty oil leak from the pump, mounts and other small things.

literally, ALL of the colors of the rainbow can be great as caliper colors!
and many many people change colors often.

Oh Sickest TL

iTrader: (3)

but if your going powder coat then you have to make a choice and stick with it.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

I personally would choose black then.

I know, I'm not helping

Oh Sickest TL

iTrader: (3)

lol powdercoat = longevity.

Black with white lettering is clean but if your spending the money to powder them the right way then gotta go with something other than black

thoiboi

Powder coat also = potentially weakening the caliper itself.


But yes the color will last

Oh Sickest TL

powdercoating aluminum = science

iTrader: (5)

powdercoating seems nice, but i prefer spray can because less cost and more flexibility to change colors. my last paint job was QTY 2 of $3 spray paint cans haha, so cheap and if i get bored i can change them up again!

bluetl04

iTrader: (4)

Yeah once I get them done, I'm not changing the color. I'm not the type of person that gets bored and switches up every so often.

Orange

I have burnt copper on my WDP. Not sure how I feel about it on ABP.
Personally, I'd go with Teal and a white decal.

sockr1

iTrader: (5)

^^^ Nice!! do you have any more pictures (like some static ones)? i have wdp also and have considered going burnt copper and want to see how it looks (i currently have a teal with white stickers lol)

07WDPUA7

Thanks! Kind of hard to see in this picture. I'll see if I can get a better one later.

sockr1

iTrader: (5)

thanks! yea if you could get a direct side shot (wheel and headlights) that would be really helpful, if not no worries!

I think burnt orange CAN look good on the blue.
it still is a personal decision and if cant decide, then I wouldn't do something so permanent. ...but obviously that's my personal opinion.

TacoBello

Gold. Do Gold.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold.

thoiboi

I'm shocked no one has mentioned red yet.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

you know what?
red looks hot on Silver. I saw it on IG yesterday.
dude's on acurazine too, lemme grab the pics

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

ahh, the filters on instagram made it look like it was red.
but i think it's a burnt orange..




I'm telling you, blu04...ANY freakin color would look great!!
