Default What color should I paint my calipers?
I have a Bright Red WS6 and I was wondering what would look best. Should I paint them black or red? I think its the only 2 colors that I think would look good on a red car. Anybody have pics of red T/A's with black or red calipers? I just want to get an idea.

I'd have to see pics of both on similar cars to give you an honest opinion, but typically I'd say go red with red and black with black
