Default What color scheme for calipers?

I think I want to paint my calipers and brackets silver and black, but which should be what color I think a silver bracket with a black caliper would look good, but I imagine it would look good the other way around as well. If anyone has pics that would help. What you guys think???


heres the car...

Black caliper with silver bracket and don't forget the caliper decals from Afterthoughts Auto.

definatly be doing the caliper decal, and a clear coat over that to make sure it doesnt go anywhere. I have silver decals sitting on my desk now since I was thinking about black calipers. Thanks for your response

Ive thought about the red, and it does look good just not sure if it would look odd on a white/black car. Still an option though

I can set you up with polished calipers and powdercoated brackets for $200 for all 4 or $50 per corner. $300 for all powdercoat because the calipers must be taken apart and rebuilt because the seals can't withstand the high cure temperatures of powdercoat.

We do have cores as well.
