One of the things on my 'list' is to glass-bead the calipers and rebuild the fronts, and rears. (I've got a full extra set I can play with.) The car will be Saturn Yellow again, but I'm not thinking Yellow calipers are all that nice looking. I'm thinking about Red to look like the 'Big Red' ones they have for the Boxter and 996.

Does anyone have a pic of their car with Red calipers?

Most functional would be a thin coat of flat black, best for heat dissapation. My guess would be for regular street use, any of the glossy colored paints are great looking, red seems to be the most common regardless of car color, some times the red looks good, other times with other car colors it aint the best choice. For a yellow car, yellow would be good, red not too bad either. My opion would be a gloss black on a yellow car would be best looking.

Let us know what you decide!
