Default What color should I paint my calipers?
Greetings forum, I need some help. Tomorrow I'm murdering out all the chrome on my IS 350, straight flat black no more chrome, and I'm also getting my calipers painted. However, I'm at a lost on what color to paint my calipers, can you guys give me some suggestions that would flow with the over all look of my car? I have some pics below. By the way I just joined the forum yesterday, good to meet you all!

Hey DenIS250, thanks for the suggestion. I was considering red, but didn't wan't it to clash with my yellow fogs, and have my car end up looking like a circus...or a light show..LOL
