Caliper color for CMB Prelude? - Honda Prelude Forum

Neur0sis · 10-09-2002, 10:47 AM

Hey guys ...

I am getting ready to paint my calipers on my CMB Prelude, and wanted some suggestions for colors.

I have been thinking either Gunmetal or Black with a Clearcoat.

Any other suggestions? Anyone have pics of their CMB with painted calipers?

gunmetal is like the stock silver color
paint it red or black. blue is nice too. but only if you have like blue stickers.

silver wouldn't look too bad either

go gunmetal. I did mine black since my car is black. What color are your rims. depends on if you want high contrast or if you want them to match.

I have Prelude SH rims on the car, so they are kinda silverish. I think I'll go look at some paint and see how the Gunmetal looks.

Anyone with CMB and painted calipers have pics?

Spoon blue?

I have a pearl white 5th. Gen. Honda Prelude and I went with red. How about bronze? I've seen the brake calipers painted in bronze on a satin silver NSX and it looked pretty nice. Can't go wrong with just plain silver or black. But if you want people to notice your calipers then either go with red or spoon style blue.

Someone could photoshop my red car to CMB to see what red would look like:
