    Powdercoating calipers

    I'm getting my new calipers powdercoated. I'm looking for some opinions on what color I should go with. I ordered silver with blue lettering thinking they would be different, but I'm not feeling them. I'm thinking blue to match the valve covers. I'm open to any suggestions just not red, way too played out. I want something different.

    Yep that would help, my fault. These aren't the greatest pics but they are all I have from the side right now.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Unfortunately Randy was having some problems with his equipment. I ended up spraying these things ford racing blue. Turned out nice for $15 in materials.
