Default what color calipers??

I have a black ws6 and have black c6 z06 wheels on the way. what color should i paint the calipers, red, yellow, black? didn't necessarily want to paint them black because you wont see them very well with black wheels but what are your opinions?

Well, what's your color scheme? If everything on your car is black I think a colored caliper would look a little odd.

Mine is blue, I don't know if you would like this color but I thought I'd add some pictures.

RED...

Any other color to me is to RICEY! i know aftermarket companys offer different color calipers but I would stick to the basic red color that goes with everything. Its the basic color to me, just my 0.2 cents on it.

I went with red and loved how it turned out, but I think yellow could be a head turner for sure...

Am I the only person that thinks red calipers look like ***. Unless you have a red car or a black or white car with a red theme. I hate seeing cars that are blue, silver, and other colors with red calipers. So unless your doing a red theme go with black.

I had mine painted red and then painted them yellow but now I think the yellow looks like crap so I'm going back to red. By the way my car is black as well.

I'm gonna say silver and black.

Unless you have red accents on your car...then go with red.

I'd go red, but paint the caliper bracket black. Looks like crap with theh bracket any other color IMO.
