I plan on getting 18" polished DD C5's in a few months and I need to repaint/powdercoat my C5 brake calipers to look good since these wheels will show the brakes off. What colors would look good with a Mystic Teal TA?

I'm thinking black would look best, but red might look good too.

Yeah black or matched to the color of the car.

Polishing then keeping them clean would be a bitch! Especially running Hawk HP+'s. I think I may go the match car color. How would I keep the paint from coming off, use the car paint then finish with a high temp clear?

So using MS Paint to test a few possible colors, which I know, sucks for deciding what the end result will really look like, but it should give me an idea. I think I may be leaning towards Navy Blue Metallic, Maroon, or even Red. I currently have Silver with the raised black 'CORVETTE' lettering now on my C5 brakes, and although it does look good, unless you look close, they look stock, I want something just a little more noticeable but not too flashy.

Either go with polished, bright red, or go with the same color as your car. Don't do Maroon or Navy Blue Metallic.... Those are not more noticeable than what you have now...

my baers came red so i painted the rears to match. I like the contrast, so all my suspension stuff is red; oh, but its not mystic teal its blue-green chameleon

I vote for polishing them, or painting them the same color of the car. I guess silver or black would look good as well.

Although I would LOVE to polish them, and given that the car is not my daily I do have time to polish them, keeping them polished would be pretty hard to do, as with my pads just a day or so of driving turns the wheels pretty dark. I can get matching Mystic Teal in a spray but wouldnt it flake off because of the heat?

No. It's just like any other paint. I did the same on my Tahoe (matched body color spray from GM) and it's held up perfect for 50k miles.

I think that's what I'll try, Mystic Teal calipers with say silver metallic brackets and do the CORVETTE lettering in silver as well.

I did mine the same color as the car. The only way to go other than black, IMO.

I would go with body color and black brackets. To me silver would stand out way to much for my taste but thats my 2 cents though. And I mean you would have a Polished wheels and that to me would be enough for the wheel/tire area. But like I said thats just me though.
