Default Caliper color

I want to repaint my calipers but i'm kinda not sure what color and hoping you guys could give so help. I plan on doing the camaro lettering on the calipers when i repaint them. Here are my choices

1. Orange(to match the 69 Z28 emblems) with black camaro letters
2. Orange with white camaro letters
3. Black with white camaro letters
4. Black with grey camaro letters
5. silver/grey with black camaro letters
6. Any other suggestion?

Check my sig for a pic or for more check website out.

Oh yeah right now there red but red really doest go with anything besides some of my suspension parts that you cant see.

Go red on the calipers with the Afterthoughts Auto brushed chrome caliper decals.

I've always been a fan of painting calipers black since it hides my dusty pads, so I'd go with 3 or 4 also. Any of them would turn out nice it seems though!

I'd go with 1, 3 or 4. Any of those options would look really nice I think. I'm wrestling with what color to do mine in as well, and will most likely go with black.

Oh yeah another thought... in my opinion you don't even really need to change them. I think they look just fine in red. You could just stick with that and add the decals.

I really don't want to stick with the red that I already have it just does't go. Every thing on the exterior of car is either black, white/polished or orange in the emblems. I think the 4th color(red) is to much. I painted them red before i got most the stuff on the car(wheels, emblem, clear corners) and it was fine then but no I just don't like it. I'm leaning towards the black with white letters but that orange with black would look good to. Do I want flashy or suttle(sp).

Black so they don't stick out too much. The brighter colors draw your eyes away from the overall appearance of the car.

Orange calipers, silver or chrome letters, polished brackets around the caliper would look sharp.
