My DB9 has gone through some changes over the past 5 months. While the bright yellow calipers looked stunning when there was chrome trim, and brushed clear machined wheels. But now that it has all the chrome trim blacked out, satin black wheels and the bright yellow calipers seem too much in your face for me.

I have thought silver calipers might be too bright again, black calipers would seem to murdered out which i dont want. So my thought is to do a British Racing Green or the Heritage Aston green and do gold lettering on them. Kinda matching the rear wing badge colors. Somewhat subtle but am open to all the suggestions you guys have. I will be removing the calipers, sanding them down, and can have a body shop paint them any of the colors. I will then apply high temp vinyl AM stickers in any color needed, then high temp clear over them. Pic below of the car now.

PS-----I have had thoughts of possibly doing satin clear PPF which will make the whole car satin black. Just a possible future option.

 

Sheriff

black gives you infinite options

you can go

wild - orange, lime essence, hot pink, sunburst yellow
highlight - red, yellow, white
Subtle - silver, gold, grey,
murdered - black,

seems you are leaning to subtle and alloro green and gold / yellow has heritage

be interested to see what you decide

I have tossed around a titanium blue color and the Alluro green. Yes the orange, yellow, lambo green are too too much. I want some sort of classiness semblance left. Or as much as i can. I guess not much is.

 

Navy blue or burgundy,

 

a semi metallic bronze with black lettering

 

Like the burnt orange calipers on the GTR's or the AMG Carbon Ceramics?

I had originally a brownish bronze and was horrible.

 

Yeah I think more of an orangeish gold bronze would look awesome on a fully blacked out car.

 

Those black wheels make your gorgeous DB9 look like some car ... loose them and stick with OEM ... http://www2.astonmartin.com/accessories/db9/wheels

 

You missed a spot.....sorry I couldn't resist! Car looks great and I agree that you have a lot of flexibility. My first thought (with your clear tail lights and side markers) is either a pewter-like silver or gray, both with black lettering.

 

I have a blacked out meteorite silver vantage and my calipers are silver grey with black letters... looks good to me

 

This might sound stupid,but I would go to the Aston Martin car configurator and configure a DB11 to the closest color scheme as yours. I would then cycle the caliper colors to what best suits my fancy.
Thanks,

I agree. Best response 🥇

 

Go crazy, neon green, bright orange, purple 🤷🏻*♂️.


on a side note where
did you get that diffuser and trunk lip?

 

Orange

 

I would go red, sorry... Mine are light grey on Meteorite Silver with black wheels, looks great
