Looking to paint my brake calipers soon on a '13 Nebula Gray GS, having difficulty deciding on a color though.
I decided to not go down the beaten path and choose red, but at the same time wanted
something different yet subtle. After a couple days of searching CL, and looking at other color combos I decided to
go with burnt copper. Before I go through with this task though, does anyone with a nebula gray pearl have burnt copper calipers so i can get a preview of what it'd look like? Or any other color for that matter, not sure if the copper would be the right color for what I was going for.

Thanks.

In my mind's eye, I think the burnt copper would look good. I was originally going to do mine in red but decided to go with blue.

Yeah, I've seen gold calipers on a white GS and copper calipers on a black GS and they've looked good. I think mostly because of the contrast between the colors, but I'm not sure how it'd look on a gray colored car. I even tried googling just 'copper brake caliper on gray car' but not a lot came up.

How did the gray and blue combo work out for you, do you like it?

See if this link works and check out Post #1. This is the combo I think you're talking about.

YES! Wow, surprised that didn't come up on my keyword search. Thanks, I don't know about the color combo now, it does look a bit subdued. Will have to think it over.

I think the copper color is a great choice for NGP:

Looks great, thanks! Bought some high heat primer and clear coat at wal-mart yesterday. Going to try and hit up AutoZone to see if they have that HVT Burnt Copper.
