What color caliper for my NBM tC?

I'm thinking on using the Duplicolor kit:

I'm not sure about what color to use on my Nautical Blue tC. I'm leaning toward two colors, but I won't say which...

I've seen it nbm with yellow calipers and i don't think they look good so i would have to say blue but try getting a darker blue or red.

I would just suggest you go with a more OEM look ... go for black. Its very subtle but attractive and not as gaudy as red.

How about none? Like... just leave them the way they are? You don't have a BBK or anything.

I will definately have to say go for the duplicolor blue. It is a bit light than IIP (the color I have) but it accents it in a good way (sounds way to much like Martha Stuart)

if your just looking to paint them, go with black
its clean, doesn't really stand out but it covers up the ugly caliper

blue! i just painted my brakes blue, and im pretty sure that blue duplicolor kit will match very well with the blue of your car.

As I stated before, the blue on my IIP is a little darker than the blue on the calipers so with NB, the calipers will be quite a bit lighter, but who knows, it might stand out...if stand out is not what you're looking for, then I agree, go black.

if you can stand to be carless for a day or two, there is a color that can be powdercoated onto the caliper that is almost a 100% match for NBM. Someone had their front strut bar powdercoated this color and posted a picture of it right up next to the side of his car. Check the NBM cult thread and see if the picture is there.
