Whatever color you pick. Take a little more time and smooth them out before you paint. Looks ugly when someone just slaps some paint on the stock, rough, nasty lookin caliper.

I was gonna paint mine black or red, but I liked how they looked polished against the chrome. Nice little bling

The car is dirty and the wheels aren't cleaned, but you get the idea.

With the stock wheels right after the calipers were done and new rotors put on. Whatever you do, make sure you apply a clear coat, makes a huge difference.
