blue calipers could be nice but they should match the color of your lapis blue car otherwise they will look tacky. In my personal opinion, you might want to go with an off color such as red or yellow. Yellow would probably be your best bet to make them stand out nicely. But if you are thinking of doing a whole theme, you might want to keep in consideration what color your calipers are as well. So if you paint them yellow, you might want to find a way to make something else on your vehicle yellow such as undercarriage neon lighting or interior yellow lighting.... you could even go into your engine compartment and paint that up a bit if you are willing. I am just trying to give you some ideas to help you at as much as possible. I am painting my calipers red once the weather gets nice out and I have time. Pictures of that will be posted asap once that happens so that I can give people ideas of what they look like.

I was gonna do mine red this spring also ..... the black ... red ... and chrome will make me drool every time I look at my 6xy

On the Cobra , I bought a sort of chrome undercoat , with a blue anodized overspray that is heat proof from DupliColor , but haven't yet painted 'em . The car is White with the interior black and saddle (tan)

Go in the products section under METALCAST www.duplicolor.com

red would look really sick looking off of your black mazda6. and with your chrome wheels, that is gonna be a great combination. I can't wait to see that all once it is done a prettied up.
