Caliper Color?
Got to replace the rotors and pads this weekend and figured I should dress up the calipers while I'm at it.But what color should I use? My car is Torch Red,so I was thinking either.... (1)calipers/brackets red,(2)calipers red/brackets black or (3)calipers/brackets both black. I have chrome Z06 rims if that makes a difference. I figure that I could just use high temp black paint for the brackets and get some sort of paint caliper kit to brush on the calipers,then hit it with some clearcoat,unless you guys have other suggestions.

Since I'll have the caliper off to replace the pads,should I just tape off the areas and use a spray caliper paint? Seems it would be easier. Then just install everything. I'm leaning towards all black with silver/red camaro lettering.

i painted my brackets black and my calipers red. I used VHT caliper spray paint for the red and regular high temp spray paint for the brackets. i didnt use any clear and mine came out mint. I wouldnt use a brush on kit though. I used one of those on a buddies car and it came out looking like ****.
