Default Can't decide on a color for Wilwood calipers

CL about to upgrade my brakes and can't decide on what color to get my wilwood calipers powerder coated. My car is cinnabar so naturally I was going to go with red but my wheels have red accents already so not sure if that would be overkill. The calipers come in black already but the cost to get them powder coated is only an extra $100 so I'd like to go ahead and get them powdercoated for the extra cost. I'm thinking gold?

Bronze or gold with some flaking would look good. Your wheels look pink to me.

It's only 35% ceramic tint on all 4 doors and 20% in the back window. I'm starting to think the clouds or my camera distorted some of the colors... blue tint and pink rims lol

The color variations are peoples monitor/video card settings. The monitors I'm looking at right now are chromapure/i1p calibrated and they do not look blue or pink at all..

Looks like gold is the consensus here so far, hope to see some pics of this done, I think it will look good.

That makes sense.. Studied my wheels and the BBS center caps are outlined in Gold so I'll go ahead and request the calipers be powdercoated gold.
