Help me decide on caliper paint color.
Here is my car. The windows are now tinted as well as CF pillars. I am thinking of going with SILVER calipers and black decals. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks!

Go extreme and get yellow. That would look nice with a black car. In my opinion, silver would be boring.

By the way, the decals I have are brembo decals. They are black in color. I am just trying to decide on the caliper color.

Gold would look really hawt!!!
CM, do you plan on painting them yourself? Or going to a body shop and having it done? Maybe even powder-coated?

Excellent point. Yellow, white, gold are out. Even blue or red would look dirty. Stay with the black OEM.

I also was thinking the same thing....yet no decals ordered yet...orange would look different/blaring.

If you didn't want to stay with a dark color I would say yellow then the F blue which would match the badges on the car

You could go with a custom color and get them painted in Smokey granite mica
