Default What color should I paint my calipers

Brickyard paint. Silver axis seven mods 19s w/ polished lip. smoked side markers.
I have the vinyl 350Z stickers for all four calipers and will probably buy a caliper paint kit, which I assume only comes in a few basic colors.
I was kind of thinking black calipers with the white stickers.
Any other suggestions?

Maybe a deep red or blood red. It'll bring out the red tones in your Brickyard.

I'm debating the same thing...minus the stickers. I'll probably go
with black or silver or maybe gold mica. Don't know yet.

I reccomend black or silver. To do any primary colors is a little ricey. unless of course you are getting the real deal upgrades!

Talking red

red brakes are strongest. that's why Brembo uses it most.

i was thinking about painting my calipers, and also smoothing them out more..... then i realized typical calipers arent painted, and are left with a rough surface for a reason.
to dissipate heat, if you're doing it strictly for the bling then no worries, but if you're going to be doing some serious stopping then dont paint them (might get things a little too hot)
if you want the "brembo" look then go buy some brembos.
