I think the only sensible thing to do since you posted pics of the calipers it to also post pics of the wife. This way we can make an informed decision.



Id probably change the color.

Tell her once you paint the mirrors red and mount a red rim stripe on the wheels that it will tie it all together. Once she understands how bad it could be, she may be OK with just the red calipers.

Just tell her that the red callipers are a safety feature. Helps other people to see your vehicle, and thus you're keeping her and you safer...

Paint back to color of her choice. Live to fight another day. Then when something really important comes up, you can cash in this karma credit!

I want to make the calipers on my C2S green, but my wife doesn't like that idea. I probably still will. Her Cayenne calipers are lambo orange,and she made me do her Z4 calipers in pink!

You must spend a lot of time painting calipers around there...

Yeah, I did. I own a powdercoating business specializing in calipers. For about 11 years I did approximately 10-12 sets per week.

I'm also an airline pilot though, and when I upgraded to Captain, I decided that at 50, I was too old to work 2 full time jobs 28-30 days per month, so I now only do the powdercoating 2 days per month.

That's awesome. I figured there had to be something else going on there. Do you ever do wheels?

I have done wheels, but pretty much only do my own now. They take up most of a whole day of oven time.
