^charcoal/gunmetal ftmfw!

I would go with a color similar to that....

paint your calippers either red or black (I would go black(It's not like our calipers are all that exciting anyways...lol))

good luck man!

+5 for painting them black. On a side note, get rid of that crooked 2.8 badge in your front grill. Looks really odd to me.

first of all the badge it not crooked.. but i have been thinking about taking it off.

yeah sorry the picture sucks it was just one a had laying around. i dont have a digital camera so ill see if i can get one of my friends who has one.

also i agree about mixing green and yellow. it would look like a damn john deere car! haha i think the gunmetal and polished silver would be pretty awesome.. doing the outside trim is going to be taugh though.

anyone have any pointers on how to keep the line where it changes color straight?

don't do da trim....just stick w one solid color...I would go gunmetal...this is the color I used to touchup some mad curb rash from da previous owner of one of mah flik justices(winter wheels in cali!)...

Duplicolor
Import Auto Spray
Gunmetal Metallic (EDSGM344)

It looks way better than it did before, I just sprayed 3 coats (took about 15 minutes to be fully dry and ready to remount)

I would spray your stock wheels this color or similar, obviously it's your car...just a suggestion though...

^+1 for removing the 2.8 emblem from your grill...

duplicolor makes a graphite wheel coating, i used it on mine

dont just use regular *** spray paint

i'm glad we decided against yellow on anything, we would all point and laugh at your john deer audi

yeah well i was thinking more orange than yellow but after thinking about it for awhile it seemed less and less of a good idea. although if i get a good picture i still might see if Leifer will do one for me with orange calipers just to see what it looks like.

btw lazer viking the big lebowski is the *****!!
