opinion needed on painting calipers

I just flipped through a page of sport compact car and thought, hey, it might be cool looking to paint my calipers.

I have a starfire blue max. What color do you think would look best on the calipers?

yellow, red, silver, etc...?

I was thinking yellow? but usually my tastes suck.. so a general opinion will probably win

hehehe

Thanks

What about blue? It would not stick out as much as some off color but maybe look better and more matching.

IMO u should paint your calipers the same color as your car, or if this sounds ridiculous, u could paint them in chrome, lol. If I was to paint mine, I'd paint them white considering that my SE is also white. But whatever color your happy w/, I'm sure it'll look good. Good luck on it!
