Default thoughts on caliper paint scheme?

my car is a black ss with the red oulined badges and i want a very nice looking caliper paint scheme that is subtle at the same time. i like the looks of red but i think they would stand out too much. i really like the looks of black caliper/silver caliper bracket/silver CAMARO SS decal, but don't know how it would look on my car with red badges. any better ideas or pics guys?

red doesn't really stand out all that much actually. That is definitely what I would go with and it will compliment your badgest nicely.

I'd go black all around, but I personally like as little red as possible on my vehicles. I'd sooner go blue on a black car if I had to pick something else.

Yes! Could someone please find me that picture. I have been searching for the last two days to find that picture. I saw it one time and I can't find it since. I want it because I want to do my calipers in red and the bracket in black.

^ Thats pretty good, the first two match the SS emblem real well. I used to like the all red calipers, but in South Fl. every import i see has them painted like that. If its factory i got no problem, but for mine im just going to paint them black and add the trans am decal in flat silver.
