green calipers on an aston? Ok ... I have a mate with a 430 has small Persian carpets on the floor that works for him, in contrast i wont have those to wipe feet on in my garage,,,,, he he.
Im all for wild so will be keen to see green on the calipers? but without overstepping my welcome is that not normally reserved for those noisy little irritations like the subaru's?

Like I said, I'm thinking right now, not doing. but if I decide to do it there will be a test done first. I ahae a few old calipers hanging around the garage that will be the test subject.

Red calipers are passe...old style ... been done over and over. Nothing special and very played out

Yellow calipers = great for any exotic, on Porsches they differentiate Ceramic brake equipped cars...yellow calipers are great for Ferrari and Aston also!

Lime green and bright orange are great on Lambos

Silver is one of the best caliper colors on GT and classy sports exotics. My DB has Silver Aston calipers and they look perfect on that car, period. They are also just perfect for Bentley, Rolls Royce and such.

gray calipers = good for gray cars or body colors in the darker more conservative hues

black calipers = blah...never really liked them on anything...black paint is cheapest so they are on most of the road going passender cars...I would not have them on any exotic/supercar... just don't highlight the calipers as much as should be in my opinion.
