What color calipers?
 
I'm going to paint my calipers here soon and wanted to get different opinions on what color to do it. Black and keep it simple or a yellow? Or something else?

I like black - nice and subtle. It's not like I installed a BBK, so I didn't want a lot of attention in that area. I just wanted to clean it up. I used a G2 kit on my calipers. The rotors come painted black like this from Centric. I sprayed my dust shields with grill paint from Lowes to match it all up because it is resilient to heat cycles and should be easy enough to find when I need to touch it up.

If I were you, I would also consider Gunmetal to match your wheels. I can't imagine any other colors looking very good.

Your image isn't loading for me for some reason.

I was kind of thinking black as well just to keep it clean and subtle like ya said. I can't think of any colors that would look good. Yellow would kind of look like Ronald McDonald's car and blue just wouldn't blend in at all and probably look kind of funny. I'll probably end up going with black.

Good idea

I completely agree with black. How funny that I just did mine black yesterday. Without paint matching it is really hit or miss with bright colors. You can always repaint or get bigger calipers down the road. Gl

I did silver for the longest time.

Just finished up my centric rebuilds black this weekend.
