I have red on my silver Z but will probably change them soon to silver to match the car better cause they are bold beyond belief!

Mine are still yellow from when I had gold stripes on the car and they seemed to go well. I'll probably do new pads and rotors over the winter and would like to have the calipers striped and powder coated. I'm thinking something like DSG, silver, or black as of now.

Blaze orange or Neon green for sure!
just playing.
Saw white calipers on a green 3 series BMW with the white offest euro stripe. looked pretty good IMO the calipers are what caught my attention in the first place. The wheels were busy BBS knock offs still could tell the calipers were white.
White should pop real nice!

White G2 caliper paint is a brush on, 2 part epoxy, do a search on ebay, $37.99 for a kit that includes the paint, a can of brake cleaner and a brush.
But you would be fine with some white 500* engine paint if you were willing to take the calipers off and spray them, then you could top it off with some high temp clear coat.
