Another "Which Caliper Color for my Car" Thread Hey everyone. Im having a really hard time trying to decide which color I should paint my calipers. My car is black and has silver/polished theme to it. Im installing polished TTII's in a week or so when I get my GSD3's and I wanted to paint my calipers. I've narrowed down my options to Black or Red. Polished calipers are out of the question for now as I dont have the time or resources to get them done (die grinder, etc.). So Which would you choose. If neither color, tell me which one you'd pick instead. Thanks.
Heres a few old pictures from last year just to get an idea.

I just did red on mine a few days ago, they were flat black before... and am soon putting on stainless Z28 badges, so will have the same theme as you going on...I also had a hard time deciding, but the red stands out so much more, and yesterday I painted the Wilwood lettering on the front calipers black (not pictured) so I think it really makes them look nice.
Once I get all the calipers painted, and the emblems on I will snap pictures.
but here is what the red looked like on the front before I painted the wilwood lettering black...

That way, your caliper shines thru instead of your lettering and bracket.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I've decided on Black with Silver lettering to match my stripes/decals and am going to stick with my theme. Red looks good but Im going for the more sleek look. I will post pics when Im done. Thanks again!
