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

I went with silver -
Looks clean - but not over-done.

When I see stock calipers painted red - It appears to shout out - "I painted my calipers"...

BLACK8, although my favorite caliper color is red, I think the gold compliments the LBP best. I'm half done painting (G2 red) my calipers, having completed only the front set. My car was on jackstands 2 weeks and I couldn't wait any longer to drive, again. Why 2 weeks? Prep time and UPS Ground. I decided to grind down the cast marks and sand the calipers, using Dremmel and by hand. Also, after being unable to find VHT 900 degree clearcoat I ended up ordering (and waiting) from Summit Racing out of OH. I think they look great so far . I'll try to pass by one day next week and let you check them out.

Even though I remember seeing break-caliper paint as a mode "you regret having done", id make them yellow, with a slight touch of orange, just like Gundam Duel color scheme:




It's from an anime called Gundam Seed, with lotsa giant fight, flying robots.

TNRSXS,

Can you put up a side profile pic of your car? I am interested in how much the silver cleans up the look (compared to stock).

Thanks. Great looking claipers BTW.
