Sorry I didnt get a chance to pm you with the info
I sanded mine then sprayed them with high temp primer, Steel Gray Pearl enamel paint, put the decals on and then cleared them.
Another color that looks great on black cars is gunmetal. Heres my gunmetal calipers on my Supra
Post some pictures when your done

Great job everyone! Definitely got some ideas from this thread. I don't know about you guys, but red and black seems too common, if I get a neutral colored car like black or silver I'm putting blue calipers on. 
ok ive decided to powdercoat my calipers red should i sand the calipers down smooth or should i leave them as is? they said they had something like a coke red or something like that they said its pretty much said it was the ferrari red and ive got a red camaro what do u guys think?

Hey brian, can you tell a difference between the stockers and C5 brakes? lol, I remember when I first did my GTP, I took it to my Uncle(whos a mechanic) and he started giving me **** about sealing the heat in and warping set upon set of rotors, but I have never had much of a problem, the polishing looks superb, might do it myself
