Default Brake caliper color for a lt. pewter Metallic Camaro?

Fellow F-bod lovers, What color would you reccomend for my SS. I'm leaning toward gloss black. I have some silver CAMARO letters for it & some chrome Z06's waiting to get put on Red is also a consideration, just don't want to take the 1st impression away from the Z06's. Pics would be cool also!! Thanks

I went with the gloss black and chrome decals. I also have chrome Z06 wheels. I really like it. Wish I had some updated pics tho.

Black will work nicely. Very subtle and will not be the first thing seen in the wheel wells.

I vote for red. I had red on my Trans Am and thought it looked great. You can check out some pics if you click the link in my sig.

Why not just do the color of your car,instead of the usual black,red,or polished?

I did a two-tone... black and gunmetal, but I have the gunmetal Z06's. Love it though, very subtle.

Sorry for the crappy pic... need some new ones.

Also if you want the maximum effect of going through the work of doing this,shave the casting flash off the caliper and holder before painting,this will give much better look.This is no way an insult towards you Toonz,it just adds a little more "kick" to the effect.

Actually I don't mind the tip, I did mine a while back and will be redoing them again this winter while it's in the garage. Proabably sand them down and get them powdercoated. Thanks!
