Default Caliper Paint


I have to replace my calipers and thought that since they would already be off the car that I might as well paint them. The thing is, that I can't decide on a color. i have a beige car with gunmetal wheels. I was thinking of either red (because its such a great color) or blue (because a lot of my interior accessories are blue). Other colors include yellow, black or silver.

Any suggestions?

Thanks everyone!

IMO painted calipers look goofy in all cases.
Just pick a color and do it...

yeah true but most of the time you can get away with painting them red.

Don't paint them any gay colors or you will regret it...stick with black, silver, gunmetal, etc.

I retract my original statement to allow gunmetal.
Take the calipers off, grind them a little smoother, and paint them gunmetal.
