Don't paint the calipers in bright colors. That just makes those tiny calipers look like ****.

Paint the calipers black to match your wheels. Good luck.
I painted my stock calipers silver; I cleaned them up one day and thought they still looked like crap, so I used some spare paint that I had in my garage. I don't think silver, gray or black is "fakin the funk", but I don't like red, yellow, etc...a little hypocritical I guess, but I didn't think it looked poseur

imo, don't ever bring attention to baby brakes. if you paint them, paint to hide, not to show.

Yeah but if you would have Bought some REALLY$$$$$ wheels then had paid someone alot of $$$$$ to paint them lime green or orange>>>>>>>>>>YOU WOULD BE THE BOMB!!!! lol

Do what you want, if you like it SOWHAT everyone else like or dislikes....Hear them out and thank them is all you can do.

As for the red brakes....plain old silver is SOOOOO much better than red...lol....I like the guys that have painted theirs BLACK.....
