I would go with silver decals, gloss black calipers. white decals would be ok, but may look like you are trying to hard.

You should get all the casting marks smoothed off before painting. It looks so much better.

Damn, that's clean. Can you do that with a Dremel or did you have to use something bigger, like an angle grinder?

I painted my calipers, but only wire-brushed them. Now I'm thinking about completely redoing them so I can grind them smooth.

Used one of these. Good thing I didn't have to pay for it!

Wonder why they're not offering white anymore? That's where I originally bought my white decals. You should email them asking what's up and report back here as I was about to order another set.
I ordered a set of white decals a few weeks ago, but they're no longer listed on the website. Perhaps they're out of stock? I'm gonna email them too and see what's up, cause I need another set (my caliper paint didn't bond properly and is now peeling )

Where'd you get the white decals? The closest I can find are those Bright Silver Metallic on decalgirl.com .
I'll sell you my white ones if your interested.Like i said before it's too cold to work on the car right now so i won't need them for a couple months...I'm sure decalgirl should have them back in stock by then.let me know.
