What color calipers
I am thinking of painting my calipers and am not sure of what color. I've got a sterling mist AE. I was thinking of red, but that in my opinion just wouldn't look good with sterling mist, blue would look funky, silver would be ok but I want it to stand out a little more than that. any ideas people? Or maybe I just need to pick something and live with it?

Honestly and truly I am leaning towards a silver color, just to keep the theme of things. I am really hoping to find a nice color that contrast's well with the sterling mist.

I did mine in Ford blue and they look great. But truely its an opinion type deal. Red looks to bold for me. I chose blue because it stood out a little bit but not like red. Plus with my new rims, the whole combination looks good. Of course IMHO....Good luck with your choice! Remember, you can always paint it a different color!

just slap every color paint on and you have a mulit-colored caliper. I plan on doing mine red once winter is over too.

I had red (See: http://www.fourthrock.com/maxima/ima...ke_caliper.jpg) then I switched to silver (See: http://www.fourthrock.com/maxima/ima...re_closeup.jpg). The red does stand out. The silver matches the car perfect.
