This thread couldn't have showed up at a better time since I'm about to paint mine also. I just haven't decided on red or black yet

How about painting it pewter to match the car? I was wondering where to get the paint to do this. I saw a firebird on this site with pewter ones. I would like to see some polished ones in a pic if any one has some to show.

There was a pewter SS at my old job that had black calipers with the silver Camaro lettering. To me, it hid the calipers more than it highlighted them.

I vote red - that's what I have on my Z28.

Why not do both?

My Calipers are polished, and brackets are semi-gloss black!
