I picked up red caliper paint today for my silver P5 but was thinking that since I have quite a bit of blue accents, neons, shoulder pads, engine dress-up etc. I should go blue. I am stuck between blue and red on a silver P5. what do you think??

Sondra (P5girl) did hers blue and her P5 is silver. She's probably got some pics somewhere if you want to see it.
I think it looks really good, not to mention unique.
EVERYBODY has red (including me!http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Blue is not as noticeable as red, so I guess it depends on how 'showy' you intend to make it.

I'm also considering either red or yellow on an mp3. Anyone has thoughts?

I'd go with red if I was you. Looks more subtle yet sporty. like on a 911 or vette.

I just did my front 2 calipers last night, I used the folia tec kit and you cant move the car for like 24 hours after they have been painted. I still have to do the back 2 if you are interested in doing yours with me. I am in guelph so I dont know how the logistics of that would work. but anyways hit me back and maybe we can set something up.
