Not sure what color I should paint my calipers. The trans am is red and is currently on stock chromed. Gonna buy some chrome Y2ks in a few weeks. Was thinking of black.

Thanks for all the responses and input. I ended up just going black on the calipers, I also got the paint for free so decided why not lol. I'll try to post a pic later

Yeah maybe my cousin had a can of black caliper pain unused and gave it to me. I left the caliper on cleaned it well sprayed the paint into a cup and brushed on about four coats evenly.
