Help cant decide on color!
I just got some LS400 calipers but i cant decide what color to paint them...
I want them to pop but not be tacky or ricer....
My car is Millenium Silver, chrome mesh wheels, flat black grill.

Im leaning towards Silver with black decals, if my car had a theme i think it would be silver/black.
Kinda wanted more pop but my scheme doesnt really allow for it....oh well.

I have always liked blue calipers on a silver car. But I am a ricer, so go with silver or black.

How about charcoal metalic, or this stuff - I used it on the spokes of an old set of 200S wheels, looked good.

Don't do black, They won't stand out. I had my LS400 calipers painted black when I first put them on. Almost no one noticed I had a big brake upgrade. I went with a bright red that didn't look bad at all. Any bold color you go with is going to look good. Gold, yellow, teal, ect.
An example for you
