   Hi,
   
   I'm debating what colour to paint my calipers... My car is posi blue with red vts alloys with smoked windows, lights and black headlights:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Im taking it to get lowered tomorrow morgan if anybody is wondering haha.
   
   I was contemplating white or maybe blue then dipping the metal clip that holds the calliper together in another colour for detail. I can't decide :/ Possibly white with a red clip?
   
   Cheers

   Yeah, paint those alloys a different colour, looks tacky like that, use the red to do the calipers or something.

   Black or silver, why paint them a colour to stand out when they're just oem single pot sliders..?

   Cheapens the look of the car

    Silver is actually not a bad idea actually, I think that may be the colour to choose

    Well, Red and blue are already pretty 'in your face' colours to put together.
    So too do a different colour for the brakes would be too much unless you do something like silver
