To paint my brake calipers... my car is of course black cherry. I was thinking the customary 'red' might not look too good with the black cherry.

Opinions??

I think Black is the only good color. In fact I wouldnt paint my caliper any other color than black. Actually silver might not look too bad either. To me red or any other color just screams cheap painted calipers. If you are only painting them for rust protection, might as well pain them a discreet color.

IMO, painting the brake calipers makes the car look cheap.

+1 for Gold! If not gold, try something like a gunmetal gray or black. Don't do red that would look really bad IMO.

silver or.. gunmetal? because they make the calipers more discreet as they blend well with the rotors.
