Default Smokey Granite.....What is the best color..

What color should i paint my calipers that would work best with my Smoky Granite Mica GS350??

I was thinking maybe black with white lettering, black with blue lettering, silver with blue lettering............I JUST DON'T know.............

Are there any other Smokys with painted calipers..............

I didnt mean my brake calipers were flint mica, i have blue calipers. i dont have my summer wheel set up on yet, so it's not as pretty as it will be. The winter wheels also have so much brake dust on it since these brakes are pretty much brand new and just starting to get broken in. list goes on but ill save you guys..lol ill take a picture tonight in my cramped garage w my ****ty droid inc camera, sorry in advanced

I've always liked this combo with the smokey granite. Not my car, BTW...
