Question Gold? Silver? Black?

Hi All, Just wondering what color you guys think I should have my calipers powdercoated
There are honestly too many nice colors to choose from!!! I don't want a color that will overpower my nicely brushed wheels, but compliment them instead.

...Help me pick, the coater is just waiting on my decision!!! Heres a link to his site, check out the color chart! WWW.TrgCoating.Com.

Black Chrome with White "Lexus"
Gold w/ Red " "
Silver W/ Black " "

I can't make up my freagin mind !!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh & My cars CW (See Sig LOL)

My thoughts about P.C.

Black looks great! Especially the black chrome!!! Classic, clean, Purdy! Cept, Why would I pay Powdercoating prices for black?! The stock calipers almost black!

The silver options TRG makes are hot too. What 350 owner has bright silver monoblocks for calipers?!?! Might not blend in too much with the wheel especially with a black lexus sticker Whatdya think?

Gold???? Would definitely have to be similar to Brembo's gold paint. Make look nice but, Rice anyone???

It's pretty much all mixed up in the air right now. No color is being neglected right now.... MORE INSIGHT PLEASE

im sorry but you cant say gold is rice whether I voted for it or not. What makes it any different from the other colors?? So youre telling me that Endless brakes are rice?? Those are gold.

No no no. Not at all! If I had the money to burn, I'd probably buy GOLD Endless!!!! But Endless calipers, and OEM are a different story. Even though the 350's come with a pretty big,nice looking, 4 piston caliper LOL, they sure ain't Endless! And probably couldn't pull off the colors a true BBK could

Disabling calipers, prep, paint, and putting it ALL back together is all gonna be around 350-400$ Like I said, I'm torn in the middle because I do NOT want the calipers to get the shine, thats what My wheels are for.

Kellyz, I'm really starting to think black chrome or mirror black would look super super sexi!!! BUT, take a look at the new C-63's calipers... Silver, Black lettering. And it looks oh so nice too!!
