So I decided bare metal wasn't going to cut it for me, so I need a chop job done for me since paint is kinda expensive. I can't decide what I'd like to do so if someone could put these colors on my calipers I would appreciate it. I definitely want something that will get people to think "Da fuq" but not something that screams look at me!!!

Here are the pics, lighting is bad and so is the quality hopefully it can work out though.

Or perhaps a color on the above chart that might look better. Thanks!

I think I'd paint your rims first. ;)

And I'd stay away from yellow and white. But almost anything goes with silver, so you have alot of choices.

Yeah rims definitely need a good spraying, I was going to powdercoat them but I went ahead and did tires since I couldn't wait anymore.

Cleaning the face of the rotors is as easy as driving up and down the street. Thats just surface rust than is from either a rain storm or washing your car. Nothing major.

LeAccord :bowdown: thank you so much!

The rotor is just a guinea pig, used for test fitment only. I've got a brand new set that will be going on when I install them.

I like the orange, personally. As for rotors, either buy new from Honda or, if you're gonna get "performance" rotors, just buy Brembo blanks. You have a FWD 4cyl; you dont need drilled/slotted rotors.
