Whatever color you pick. Take a little more time and smooth them out before you paint. Looks ugly when someone just slaps some paint on the stock, rough, nasty lookin caliper.

With the stock wheels right after the calipers were done and new rotors put on. Whatever you do, make sure you apply a clear coat, makes a huge difference.
