What to do with my painted calipers
Ok so right now my calipers are painted red. I am thinking about what to do with them. I am trying to get some opinions.
-paint them black or silver
-hand polish them
and here is a picture of them red.

I like them in silver if they are stock just because they dont stand out and its looks cleaner. Now if I had some huge *** brakes like Spoon, Wildwood, Brembo... some big caliper thats a big name Id want to show it off.

Re: What to do with my painted calipers
the original is a faint gold with looks great IMO
if you plan on redoing them I recommend taking them appart(just each piece) then take off all the old paint with a wire wheel brush(air tools rock) they will be a silver color that doesnt look bad but you may see a little red still so theres your chance to paint them(I would suggest gold as well but I think a metalic gold would have better results)
