I've done red calipers, and chrome painted brackets. We'll see if it looks ricey with the chrome paint, I'm not sure yet.

I believe its LS1 SS on here, who did his calipers blue, and i think they look really trick. You'd think they'd look a little off, but they're dead on and compliment his scheme really well. I'll get pics somewhere....

friend has silver vert with blk top and black zr1 style wheels. I have white car with stock 10 spokes. We both went RED and they look excellent. No offence but the polish just makes it disappear like it is a part of the rotor. And why bother painting the bracket and then polish the caliper???
You have to decide whether pop or subtle is the goal. But any paint will make the rotor more visible than polish, to stand out from the rotor.

a little easier to find than i thought it would be....it's an excellent site, one that i'll most likely be using come spring and my car is back out of storage

Thanks again to 550racing for the idea and 93Hawk for the link to polish my calipers. I just got done with them and couldn't be happier (polished calipers with black brackets):
