paint thinner or acetone should work if you haven't already tried

What caliper paint would go well with desert sage metallic. Im trying to find a nice color to go with the paint and would like some suggestions.

Thanks.

damn...if I had booger green i would go one of two ways. can go safe and be like everyone else with red or black...


or


do something that's subtle but different. maybe matte gold or something in the khaki-ish hue. personally, i would do something in the second option. i think matte gold would be sick!


what color wheels do you (or plan on getting) have?

LOL booger green. Never heard that before. I see it as olive green =P

Right now I have OEM rims but i was planning on either gunmetal, silver/chrome (dishes) or white (dishes) rims.

Not planning to try gold rims as that look is too subie imo.

I would go w/ matte gold or even a light copper-ish color. sounds weird, but it'll look sick.

How much could I ask for my F Sport calipers, rotors, and pads? Non-painted, less that 100 miles on everything.
