What color should i paint my calipers?

-My car is a Blk/Blk 98 SE. Iam gonna keep the outside stock for awhile except a drop/clears and tints.
-What color would look best on a stock black max?
-I was thinking red but i've only seen red calipers on moded maximas so iam not sure how it would look on my stock max. I was also thinking black to match the rest of the car..

any opinons would be apreciated

I painted my Z brakes a light silver. Go for anything other than red or black. Too many people have red and its ugly as **** and black is just...meh.

Get some duplicolor spray paint and get either the silver or iron colors. I think they have a cool rust color too.

hot pink, they really contrast the wheels....LOL anwyays i planned on painting mine silver, and the hats of my rotors silver seeing as the stupid machine shop machined off the zinc coating so now i have a nice ring of rust where the pad doesn't contact the rotor. Make sure the calipers are super clean before painting them or the paint wont adhere properly.

I've had both dark blue, and like a clay blue colored calipers on my black Galant VR4s, and I loved them. Now I have red ones on my Maxima....guess I'm generic.
