Default Color for calipers?
My Targa is wimbledon green and i'd like to paint my calipers, question is what color? They are black now. I really like red but i am concerned how that looks with the wimbledon green.

Yellow is the color that will match your green car. How about posting a pic of your car so we can all see it.

Exotic Classics on Long Island has a Wimbledon Green 2S....there are some great photos there....I think with Wimbledon not being a typical green....I vote for a yellow or gold.

Here is a sample picture:



Perhaps silver would work too?

One vote for red, look how good the body color looks against the rear lense in the sample pic above. Yellow would be too pronounced for me against Wimbledon green.
