Yellow, cause Clarkson said something bad about colorful calipers at some point :-P

Red I wont paint them. The first thing every guy does around here, is painting their bloody calipers red! Even red drums! And any car, of any kind.
I was thinking about gold calipers and black letters, or a nice glossy anthracite, with black or silver letters.
Does anyone know how to use photoshop?

Maybe if I send a picture of my car, calipers and wheels, someone can put it all together?
Here are the calipers waiting for me to decide color

I've seen a few silver 350z's with gold brembos and think they look pretty good, can't seem to find a useful picture though

When I was working on mine I realised (after I finished and they were yellow) that I thought the etch primer had looked a lot better, so I'll probably go back to silver or gray :-)

They were black on my 406 and I liked them.
Though the 350z gold do look nice

Well, a friend from Brasil, made a photoshop for me, with golden/orangeish calipers and the new wheels, Challengers, and looks awesome!! Guess gold is a serious contender! I wanna try the glossy grafite to see how it looks, and think it will be one of those 2, gold with black letters or grafite with silver/red letters. Damn I´m worst than a girl picking a dress

My guess with silver on silver would be a yellow caliper. That's what Ferrari do. Red on black works on mine.
