Another caliper thread

Ok. So my car is getting painted on the 21st. We are going with a Hot Rod Black (aka Flat Black).

The rims are at the powdercoater right now. They are going to be 20% Gloss black (pretty much flat as well.

Now this is the part I am struggling with the most. I dont want to do red with the calipers. I mean, EVERYBODY does it. I want my car to be a little bit unique.

ITT: What color (besides red) should I go with on my calipers?

i vote something like gunmetal, or polished would be a nice contrast

Someone get that "cool" blasphamous pic of a Mustang off the thread...

j/k

I think the polished look would go the best. Hell, they're just calipers, chrome powder coat em and then clear over it...it'll look less chrome, but would still be sweet lookin!
