Polished or black for a pewter car.

Red's played out, the same way chrome, anodized, stripes, flames, tint, etc...

Do what YOU like, it's your car.

I was thinking black or maybe a gunmetal color.

And I said black in that thread and I'll say black in this one!

Firehawk#608: If you can make a dingy ol' caliper look all sparkly like that you got some mad skillz! I bet you wish most of your exterior panels weren't plastic so you could polish the whole rig

I appreciate the flowers about the calipers in that photo, but someone else actually did it.(not my calipers) Honestly it's lacking a bit of reflection and it isn't "wet" enough.

And yes I wish the body panels were stainless or aluminum.
