Nice ride!

Red would tie into your tail light red.
Black would further add to the "stealth" factor.
I would add (a darker vs. lighter) blue brake calipers to consideration, since
that color is seldom used and it would compliment
your paint.

Please post before & after pix when the job is complete!

Clear those corners, btw!

 

Black with silver or red "SAAB"

 

Black.

 

black or silver

 

Silver would look good and more OEM. Maybe not what you're after though.

 

silver

 

Black

 

Sweeeet ride!

My picks are GOLD or RED:

 

thats a bad attempt at gold so by that pic red

 

Yellow is going to show lots of shit. Dark silver or metallic grey, or black.

 

yellow but make it that highlighter yellow like on porsche models.


but black would be sweet too

 

I painted mine black, and they don't stick out.


I didn't want red or yellow since they'd look like hell in about 15 minutes after the brake dust gets on them. I'm thinking now I might respray then in gunmetal.

 

The darker the better.

 

Gloss black. That was original on the Viggen.

Nice wheels.. I had a set like that

 

I would definitely say yellow. It wouldlook really exotic, and if you get the right shade it will look like the pccb brakes on the new porsches which is like an $8500 upgrade. The gallardos have yellow calipers too with the lamborghini script.

 

does anyone have a long lasting solution for caliper paint instead of powder coat (which you would need to completely removed the cailpers to have that done). i used dulpli-color's brake caliper kit on my 00' Impala that my parents have now and it's flaking bad. someone should give a better solution than dupli-color, if there is any.

 

I used gas grill (yes grill) paint on my 9000 and 900 calipers. I did the 9000 calipers over three years ago and the paint is holding up just fine.

 

I used the duplicolor kit over a year ago and it's showing no signs of coming off...

I did it while I was replacing my fuel pump the hard way. So I painted the calipers before I dropped the tank and they sat like that for a week while I was waiting for the parts for my fuel pump install.

I follow the proceudre exactly as described.

 

Go blue!

 

Black!

 

I used the dupli-color paint on my previous car which i completely beat the hell out of and the caliper paint NEVER faded or chipped even after 2 years of abuse. I currently have the calipers on my 9-3 painted gloss black and it keeps the car looking sleak and clean.

A.K.A. go black

 

i wonder what i did wrong then. it's obviously not road salt since the two of you live in snow states. maybe i'll have to consider doing it again.

 

Eww, neither, Black, Dark grey, or silver, but not red or yellow, not on that color.

 

passive/aggressive much??

 

what about silver with green SAAB lettering? or visa versa that would tie it all together..



i want to do either red with black letters or black with red letters.

 

I was thinking same colours but finally blue was the colour I use...
