What color should I paint my calipers?

All four are AL I believe. On mine I just cleaned them up real nice, that was last year. If you do paint them though, paint them black or grey. Painting them a color makes them look aftermarket.

I had painted my calipers red, and i repainted the subframe black then hit it good with an under coating, i think it was duplicolor... I was bored and hit the rest of my car underneath as well, its REALLY black. So i decided to paint my exhaust aluminium to lighten it up a bit...

If you want them to stand out dont do black. i painted mine black, btu i thought they would look pretty cool. btu they just look like there really dirty. If you just want to hide them then go with black.

I have VHT's Yellow now. The previous owner painted them this colour which I didn't particularily like. So, one-by-one I had to replace them when they failed. In doing this, I had to paint them the same colour to maintain the consisitency. I really wanted to paint them Black and sand down the embossed Mazda but It would look odd with a Black and Yellow theme.
So after replacing them and painting them Yellow to maintain the consistency, I loath them now. I'll probably be glassbeading them and repainting them the same colour as they should have been from day 1.
Silver RX-7 and Yellow Calipers are ghey.

Red caliper on black car = Awesome. Do red, you wont regret it. I painted the calipers on my G/Fs black eagle Talon TSI AWD red..looks great. Just dont do it stupidly. CLean the calipers meticulously..then give them a few coats, and let dry. I baked my calipers actually. Nothing looks worse than bad/flakey paint.
I have the calipers on my silver FC painted black though..

I painted mine silver, and did the mazda on the fronts in blue. They match my wheels very well. My car is black and i think they look awesome, of course
cant go wrong with red though, it's a universal color works on just about anything.
