   I know its about brakes, but its about the styling of brakes, so its staying in here
   
   I have a icelandic Grey VTR, with alloys going anthracite. What colours could I do calipers? Also, whats the best paint products to use?

    Im thinking Black, or Yellow. Black purely because it will go well with the smoked theme look, yellow because it will stand out etc. BUT...black is winning because i wont be assed cleaning them all the time LOL
