Since you have chrome wheels, don't do polished. That will clash. I would do black with maybe chrome or red decals. Do you have pics of your car that you can post?

Not trying to hijack thread..but same sort of question. My WS6 is black, black tint, blackouts, etc. SFC's are yellow, Yellow STB and yellow under the hood. Since the outside is all black, what color calipers would look good? I thought about yellow, and know for a fact I don't want red....any suggestions or pics with yellow calipers? Thanks guys

Please don't do yellow. Go black or a dark charcoal metallic. I just think yellow would be just a little much. IMO.

I agree, no yellow! If you have polished wheels I would polish the calipers and paint the pad brackets black. If not, I would either paint them both silver to restore the look like new again, or both black with maybe a silver or chrome decal.

What wheels do you have? That will help with making suggestions...
