I would either do silver or red. The only reason I would not do red, is becuase it is very common now and me, myself, would like to do something that would be different.

Red. Although I had a hard time choosing between silver and red but in the end, I chose to paint them red.

Silver doesn't really stand out much and yellow on maroon really isn't that great either, I'd go with blue I think.

silver definitely...yellow would be obnoxious, and i doubt you could find a red that wouldn't clash with the paint color.

my opinion and what i am going to do...paint the calipers themselves red, and the backs of the brake pads silver...that way you have kind of a 2 tone finish and dont have to paint over eachother...

I did gold on mine. My car is sage mist green with the silver wheelies. Anyway, I picked gold cause when I got the car, there was a silver and gold pinstriping which I took off. It goes pretty well with my car too.

depends on the color car..

white car = red calipers
black car = silver or red
blue car = silver
green car = silver
