Default Car in shop, need some help

My car is in the shop right now and I want to call the guy and tell him how to paint my calipers. I am doing it car color because that is really the only color that will match chameleon at all times. You guys think I should do the caliper chameleon and the bracket black, or do both the caliper and the bracket chameleon since the wheels are black?



This is how it would look with the bracket painted black, except the silver would be chameleon

be carefull washing your wheels so you dont hit the painted calipers with the brush. you'll scratch the clearcoat like theres no tomorow.
