TRULUX,
Funny thing I ran into this thread....I have the same color car (Mine is a GS 400) and I have been contemplating the same question for the last few weeks.
I am leaning towards the Bronze color myself, or if I could afford it I would have the Endless Blue.
Just my input....
Cheers,

If you are referring to me, I was thinking that same thing as TRULUX about painting my OEM brakes, but I also included that if I could afford the BBK from Endless I would have that color and them on my car.
I am in the black hole for mods.....it never ends.

If you want to dress up the OEM ones, I'd just go with black. It is different enough to be different but won't call too much attention to them. If you have BBKs, go with what you like. Everyone has different intentions with their brakes. Even though I have StopTechs, I still did not want to go with other colors because [b]I[/] don't think the Bronze color works too well with red/blue. I went with black. Now, that's just me.
There are people who have done red/blue/gold/... with their OEM and they are happy. It is just individual tastes.
Bottom line: My vote is for black because that is what I'd do. You do what you like.

Could any of you guys tell me where I can get some gold caliber paint? Question, do you think silver delcals would look better on a gold caliber or would black decals look better? Thanks in advance...I think the gold with the bronze color car would look the best.

LEXISM:
I think you would be able to buy the caliper paint from a autosports salon or at your local speed shop. I know of a place but they only sell: White; Red; Blue; and Yellow but no Gold or metallics.
I will keep the look out for you, as I am still also debating on which color to use on my car. (Antique Bronze Mica.) I am soon to buy a new stagger set of rims that will be polished with gold centers, although I will not know for sure how they will look with the color of my car. I guess I will have to wait till I buy the rims to set them next to the car to see how they fair out.
** Found a website that sells caliper paint **
http://wheelskin.com/Merchant2/merch...+CALIPER+PAINT
Price is about $34.00 for the kit, looks reasonable though. Good luck!

I'm with you on that one. IMO, nothing screams RICE louder than small factory calipers painted red, yellow, or some other look-at-me color. Big brakes are serious upgrades if done right, and to me, painting a factory low-performance caliper red, etc. in attempt to look like a brake upgrade is 
But like you said, it's just individual tastes, I suppose....
