Thumbs up What color calipers would look good ?

I want to paint my calipers red. But I wonder if it would look good on a Laguna Blue. What do you guys think ?

With the size of the stock calipers, I like a more subtle, but clean look. I say go with black G2 caliper paint.

I agree with XclusiveAutosports. Because of the small size of our factory calipers, I feel that they should not stand out as much. Bigger brake kits look good to me because they fill up the wheel. Looks kinda corny IMHO with the little oem ones standing out cuz they are painted to show. Black will def. clean them up though.

WHAT!? STOCK!... If you see a car with black painted calipers it just looks much cleaner. They don't look like you are trying to pull off a BBK look with your stock calipers, they just look clean. You would probably like it.
