I get the feeling you want some 'color'. In that case, green seems to be the best so far.

I added an AI edit of what it would look like. Obvious AI doing its thing of adding more but for an idea it’s pretty good and think the bronze would look great with the green and white color

AI is like that annoying try hard kid in class, that still manages to only get a B. Adding all kinds of extra body lines and shit, instead of just following the teachers directions. 🤣

*green calipers would look good on white tbh though

I did light blue. Badges are blue, tire caps are black/blue.

I did mine black with GR logo and it turned out pretty good
All 45th Anniversary Supras (like my car) have black calipers, I believe. They definitely hide dirt and brake dust better than does any other color calipers.

Is this powder coat or paint? Who did the work on these? They look amazing! 👍
Powder coating requires the part(s) to be pre-baked to about 350 degrees F, so the components to be coated would likely need to be disassembled, first. Painting may be able to be done with only cleaning and masking. Of course, epoxy powder coating is more durable.

Yeah I knew about the temp concerns with powder coating. Your post was a good sanity check for me to go back and look at Tymbom’s pics; it appears that caliper pistons are still in and masked off, so paint is likely the word unless someone has fried caliper seals! 😂

I friggin love that blue…

Honestly green on bronze looks great, but it has to be the right green.

Can you keep us updated on the removal/install. I’d like to do this also but there are no DIY’s that I know of and not sure if a sensor might be triggered.
