Re: Thinking of adding some color..
I personally prefer pinstriping for color, or whole body panels, or even just adding the stripes on the bottom or even on the hood, the strakes and stuff just seem to be ricer to me. As far the calipers are concerned, no high temp paint is required. Mine is just a high gloss enamel rustoleum yellow and they've held up just fine. No latex though. Just a good oil-based paint is fine.
personally i like black and orange. My white coupe was supposed to be white with orange and black but that's another story.
