Considering the same thing. I think I'd paint mine black as red stands out and (in my opinion) looks a bit naff. Black looks pretty good and loads better than the standard "corroded" colour from Honda

Aquila Eagle has done his on a silverstone. Doesn't look too bad.

If you look closely on the old Honda S2000 brochure you will see that the car in the pictures has black calipers ??

I had been looking for black caliper paint for some time, but had found it hard to find ...... until a few days ago when I managed to get some Savage caliper paint from a local shop.

The stuff I was looking for was G2 but I couldn't find it anywhere in this country. There is a guy on ebay selling it and says that he will ship worldwide but he did not replay to me email last week asking for the cost of shipping
