Anyone have a White Maxima with painted brake calipers?

I have a white maxima with the silver 350z 35th Anniversary rims. (I havent taken pics yet) and I want to paint my brake calipers and get new rotors. I cant decide what color to paint the calipers. I am leaning towards silver, but anyone have any suggestions? Anyone have a white maxima with painted calipers that they could post so I can see how they look? This would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have silver calipers on my grey maxima... can't really tell but the break dust started to rust a little and silver and rust look like crap together.
Red may look cool with white and won't show rust as easy...

but my best advice is to go with a colour which bring out other details in the car... like match a stripe or wipers or something...

^^Looks good man... I wondered what you ended up doing. Throw some front mud flaps on & it will look alot better.

Yea I was thinking of maybe going with gold because I have gold trim. Im not too savy with photoshop so its hard for me to picture gold brakes on my white maxima.

Thanks.

I suppose the dealer is the place to go for the front mud flaps?
