Gold Calipers - What Say Ye?

Post by DuckRyder »

OK, everything else is black - Spindles, springs, steering tie rods, rotors (not the swept area obviously)... , shocks...

Thinking of breaking this up just a bit with something other than silver or red. I have “Oldsmobile Gold” engine paint as well as a couple of shades of Ford Blue.

Strongly considering the GOLD... what do y’all think? I realize this is a personal taste thing and virtually no one will see it...

If not gold probably black.

I like it. Make sure to post some pictures so we can decide whether we want to copy it!

Pictures going up slowly on my project thread about page five or six so far...

I’m still on the fence here, leaning toward gold because so far there is a lot of black...

You only go around once. I'd try the gold. It certainly won't hurt anything and it would be unique.

Eastwood sells a zinc looking paint kit that is based off of gold with some silver and green if memory serves. Would look appropriate I think.

Mine just have some aluminum over spray from the last time I touched up the dually wheels. :)
