Yellow is good, bronze is cool too. Chrome would be the best! I think it's on these forums, I believe it was an 8/6pot chrome Greddy BBK. Or buy mine!

Red seems to work with every color car (although all the ricers who picked up a can of red autozone caliper paint for their chitty stock calipers kinda ruined red), gold, or take the easy/safe way out and match the car. Monterey blue is a flashy enough color that calipers of the same color would stand out.

Yellow would be cool but a subdued color like black would work too.

Dark colors don't fade as bad when you heat them up, so pick a dark color.

Will look great, till you heat them up once and they turn an odd color. No need to have a BBK if your not using them.

Anything but red. It's been ruined imo. I love my Brembo gold. At some point this year, I'll probably get mine redone. The lettering is completely gone and the paint was chipped a few places from the previous owner being a woman.

Red is getting old. The 40th 370's have red. So I wanted to stay away from that and just be different.

That yellow looks hot on that blue!! That's what id do also. I think the BRembo is a little played out out also as far as color choice.

that white looks pretty good but i bet it loses a lot of its flakyness when hidden behind the wheel

Looks really good in direct sunlight and you can still even see the pearl in it.

Yellow is cool but a byatch to keep clean. I wipe down my calipers like every 2 days..
