I'm installing Porterfields on my car this weekend, and figured that I might as well paint the calipers while I have everything apart. I'm trying to decide between black and silver (on a maroon car with silver, open wheels.) Which would look better, and does anyone have pics of either? Please feel free to suggest any other colors, but I've already ruled out red and yellow.
Thanks.

Depends on what you want..

If you want them to blend in, not really be noticed..go with silver.
If you want them to stand out a bit.....go with black.

Black w/ a clear-coat if you can swing it...

That would look nice!

I have a 2K Sunlit Sand SE. I painted mine to matchthe body, and have gotten a bunch of compliments (from people who notice stuff like that!).

I'd say go with a low-key silver or aluminum type finish, and a flat clear coat. Burgundy and silver always look good together!
