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
