Default Need pics of red calipers/chrome brackets!

I just repainted my calipers red and am wondering if I should paint the brackets chrome or black. Would chrome look cheap? Who here has that combo?

i painted my calipers, but have yet to paint the bracket, im gonna do it when i change my brakes.

im thinking either silver, or black.

Chrome on a weekend/nice day cruiser. Black on a daily driver.

Chrome looks good but you have to keep up with it take the wheels off and clean the brackets up every now and then. If you let brake dust and road grime sit on them for awhile they are going to end up looking like crap.

Black blends in nicely, and will accent your car.

Your shot, I'm going chrome with red calipers.

Yeah, I recommend prepping it yourself before hand. Sand out all the texture that's going to be visible on the outside.
