Guys,

I am getting my calipers painted on Monday and am super torn between blue and burnt copper on my 2013 Liquid Platinum with Matte Gunmetal VMB 5. The images posted here are another CL member images however I have the exact same setup. Really appreciate if you guys can weigh in your opinions and help me make a decision.

I like the copper. However, not ot get off topic, but what wheels are those? They look awesome.

It looks like the poll is split right now. Hmmmm

Those are Velgen VMB5 in gunmetal. Again these photos are not mine but another CL users. My wheels are sitting in the living room waiting to be mounted

Red was my obvious choice for the longest time but every other car is red around my town :/

There is also Orange like on the GS F, different from burnt copper.

I saw that too. That does look good but very daring I think.

Burt copper is perfect then, if you don't want the calipers to be too loud and in your face. Its not as bright as orange.

Here is mine, I have to redo it, last year when I put my new rims on they tried to back off the lift and the rim was touching the caliper. I ended up getting 5 mm spacers:





Here is another pic I found online.

This is what I meant in the other thread: the caliper and the amber turn signal click. Together they pop. Everything else is monochrome.

It appears that the orange might be a clear winner in this poll. Now the real question is where to find the actual GS F orange color since it's different than the burnt copper.

VHT Flame Orange, not as bright as the gsf orange:




VHT Real Orange, reminds me of a caution cone:


This is why I went with VHT Burnt copper, not as loud, and a very nice color.

Really liking that flame orange. I am as well, contemplating color for my calipers on my Atomic Silver F Sport. I love red, but red calipers are everywhere. Was thinking black, but that is just a bit more subdued that I would like.

FYI I just dropped my car off at a shop to get my calipers painted GS F Orange. I will update this thread later today on the results. I wasted a week thinking about the caliper colors lol and came to the conclusion orange would look best !
