I want to paint my calipers soon and was wondering what people liked for colors? I've got a Mica Black Speed3. I was thinking black like I had on my Lexus. Anyone have any input?
 
I think black would be best, looks much nice than unpainted calipers so it makes a difference and doesn't look like every other black car with red calipers out there
 
Pretty much my reasoning with doing it the last time. I like to see what people think though. Diffrent forum, diffrent people. Thanx!
 
maybe a dark blue would look nice. then it wouldnt be a straight black but it would be dark enough not to give a def color scheme.
 
come to think of it, a darker garnet or crimson type color would look good too.....away from the bright red but still throwing some color on there.
 
Depends on what you want as your accent color for the car. Get something that's easy to match.
 
I painted mine red. The Black MS3 is accentuated with red to begin with. I got black wheels with chrome lip. Will post pics later.
 
Here are few pics taken at HIN Orlando.

you can barely see the calipers if you paint them black,that's what I did at first,then I repainted them yellow and the calipers now really stand out

Bronze/Gold would look damn good...Red is too prevelant in the "I painted my own calipers" world...If they were big Ol' Brembos that were red from the factory...That's a different story.
 
If you want a mild look go for black or silver or If you want them to stand out and attract attention go for a bright red, blue, green or even gold. All of these colors will go with black. Basically you can't go wrong with any color you choose. My hatch is white and I painted mines blue.
