What color would look good on a Chameleon Trans am. I was thinking a dark blue with chrome brackets. Let's see some pics if you have any.

You could probably find a really similar color in a high temp spray paint :dunno:
Other than that, I think silver would look good :)

i am digging the yellow because it will add a nice contrast;)
Use this tidbit of information, it's from a site dealing with web design, but same premise:
http://cit.duke.edu/resource-guides/tutorial-web-design/11-design-color-color-wheel-extended.jpg
"Traditionally, it has been recognized in art that colors on opposite sides of a color wheel are complimentary and work well together in design. Often, these color combinations are seen in nature -- in the coloration of plants, for example. When you begin designing materials for the web or other interactive presentations, you might want to keep a copy of a simple color wheel handy to come up with creative combinations of colors that may be used for text and other elements on the screen. If a combination "clashes", our brains have to work overtime in perceiving the colors -- working with a computer screen that incorporates color combinations that are too harsh can produce fatique over a period of time."

I would try to find the same color as your car I think that would look good on your car, but I think yellow might stick out way to much.

Anymore ideas.
Well I have a black SS. Since the SS badges are black and red I decided to keep that combo for every else on the car. Just finished my calipers and brackets in black and red....

Id say a dark blue, but they wouldnt stand out as much. I think a yellow would look weird with that color.
BET IT

Red is a pretty common color for calipers though, I'd say be different and go for something truly custom looking :D Maybe polished brackets and, well, lemme think about the caliper color for a bit
