   They will be white for about 1 day. Any other colours on the car? Standard is red tbh.

    Matte black. Unless they're something special, keep them hidden.

    Bright colour calipers shout "look at me I'm aftermarket" and when somone will look they'll see you have single pot shitters and laugh at your poor attempt..
    
    Even when I fit my new 6pots on the front they'll be black.

    Unless you fancy having the wheels off to clean the calipers about once a week, paint them black.
