What color to paint my calipers? Silver / Black / Red ?
I'll probably just use the Duplicolor kit for calipers. I was thinking black with silver "Trans Am" decals on top, or vice-versa. Also not in the picture is the "Trans Am" letters for the doors in silver. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

How do you guys think red would look on a black / silver car?
These are what the decals look like. WS6 Store sells them and a non-sponser does as well. (PM me for the link.) EDIT- These are not my calipers, just a picture of the style of decals I would like to use:

Polish them! Grind them down a little bit and polish them! You have the chrome rims that come very close to matching the polished aluminum. I'll send some pics of mine when I get my car back if you are still interested.

What do you use to get them smooth? Sandpaper? My wheels are TT2's, and are polished aluminum. If you were looking at the wheels in post #15, they are not my wheels; just a picture of some calipers with the style of decals I'd like to use.

I'm having my calipers and valve covers powder coated SOM to match the car. Thinking about having the intake sanded and painted the same color as well.

I would paint them red if you want them to stand out, thats what color mine are and it looks real good on a black car.
IT also looks real good when you sand them down and use a rubbing compound to make them look like chrome, but thats alot of work.
