I would do a good job on them and do them up silver or gold. All the rest end up looking home done and cheap.

Just remember crap in = crap out

You should powdercoat them if you are going to do color... otherwise I would say a nice polished alum caliper looks best.

get something that clashes with the color of the car. (black body/yellow or red callipers) Red car Like a yellow or a shiny silver would be best

I'd say first decide what exactly you want to do with it as far as if any color scheme and paint them the other color (just my opinion) otherwise I'd have to agree with just go with black

I think your gay for asking a question like this. Who in the fuck cares what color YOUR brake calipers should be painted. Oh yeah only YOU should care. Do what you want to do. I'm just showing you that it doesn't matter what we think.
And if you want my opinion
Pink or green.

Yes.
And I gave you my opinion.
It's not a harsh reply. You might have just read it wrong.

you got to also consider how many people are actually going to look at brake calipers. not very many people will notice. even if it is hot pink or neon yellow. choose a color that goes with the car.

i said black. why? becuase when the paint fades chips scratches off itll look like they just rusted a little bit till you get another coat on them.

i also beleive painting anything on a car is pointless and a waste of money.
