wut color to paint my calipers?

I'm thinking black

I don't think red would go, or should I just leave them alone?

I agree, gunmetal or black. Any color usually cheapens the look of the car in my opinion.

hey my stock unpainted calipers have a gold-ish look to them. I should clean them off more, they look quite nice on my BG-33P teg w/ gunmetal wheels.

Re: wut color to paint my calipers? (RangerDan)

its photoshopped for sure. but the color of the caliper is pretty funny. LOL. the "sticker," its damned horrible!

i would go for gunmetal or black or something. but a bright color like red or blue would be sick looking, i think!
