Silver, Graphite or Black. Also suggest powder coating vs painting.

Red is just too typical...leave them alone.

A black and red schema on anything is just too typical...leave them alone.

You know of a good place that would powder coat calipers? I know your not a denver area guy. Ive been trying to figure out if any place can do this for cheap. Someone tried to talk me into white on my calipers, you wanna talk about cleaning all the damn time! Ive been trying to figure out how complicated a powder coat would be to do for any shop. I cant imagine to hard...

If that place was ever there, its long been gone. There isn't a business called Colorado Powder Coating anywhere near this intersection.
