Default Atomic silver IS200t

I have a atomic silver IS 200t and I need suggestions on what color I should do my calipers. I was thinking of blue to match the tips of my exhaust, but Im not sure if it will go with the color.

Personally, I am not sure any of these colors would work - Maybe I am ultra conservative but out the choice you listed, I would leave it stock or black.

^^^ Agree, not good choices. I’d go with silver, black, or red (matching the taillight plastic shade of red).

That is true, red could be a good option too

Absolutely none of those colors.

Black, white, or color matched.

Out of those, I voted yellow, but for me, red or gloss black would be best. I like the color-matched idea too.

None of those colors. I would do orange. I also wouldn’t paint them on 200t anyway.

Are you planning on getting aftermarket wheels at some point? If so, I'd leave the calipers stock until you decide on the wheels and the finish. Otherwise, I'd do gloss black or color match them to the car.

Edit: old thread, LINK but you might find some inspirational pictures in there.

Why is your car parked in front of a horror house murder investigation.
