Default Brake caliper color?
On SSB....deciding between YELLOW and ZR1 Blue. Thoughts? Can't decide which would look better?....

Boy, I think yellow would just "pop" ! Not sure if ZR1 blue would do the same

yellow - you want contrast - red would be ok too

Yellow would be the bolder choice. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Go with Mike, "The Powder Coater", and get you calipers done in Crystal Red Metallic with a silver metallic base. They will like this only in red of course.

But, just for you thoughts, these were done by Mike, and the color is ZR-1 Blue with a silver metallic base.

Good Luck, and post when done...
