    On the 540 wagon, I painted the carriers silver and the calipers black (pics in the project thread). That was very subtle and clean looking like from the factory. Preston went with yellow like Chris's old ZHP on a mystic blue car, it does stand out. Brett went with ford blue engine paint against a sparkling graphite car! the blue is very close to the blue of the Roundels, I think it looks classy cause you don't see it very often.

    I did the same paint and blue with mine. Was a nice subtle touch that didn't stick out too much with the lighter color car (TiAg). I need to do them again however as the paint has become to chip off in a few places and look more dirty despite my efforts to clean them. I probably should have done more than 2 coats when I did it which may be why I'm seeing problems now. The blue is very similar to roundel blue.
