I've just never understood why anyone would waste the time or money on painting calipers? To each their own though...

i think painted silver or black looks good. especially the guys who take the time to grind them smooth beforehand.

If you have OEM wheels unpainted I'd go with black.

Because IMO, if you've got some nice after market wheels, the crappy finish on the OEM brakes is distracting and takes away from the look of the wheel.

I did flat black. Took probably an hour just taping off and spraying well.. Looks much better then the stock dirty gray mine had.
