Orange HHR Question

Hey guys, need some opinions. I drive a SOM HHR and am thinking about painting my calipers/drums. I did a search on this site for painted calipers, but I only saw one orange one with pics of painted calipers/drums - in red.

Not sure I want to go that direction, so I'm wondering what everyone else thinks would look good on my ride. I'm open, for the most part and will definitely post before/after pics when the deed is done.

Thanks for all your help and opinions! This is the best forum I've ever subscribed to!

I love SOM, but for calipers and drums I'd go with satin black.

Keep the body color highlighted. The calipers/drums should be a subtle accent. Black would fit the bill over SOM in this case.

Here's a picture of how I did my calipers on my SOM......Painted the rear drums to match....



The Chevy lettering is high temp vinyl from an Ebay seller.
