Black will hide the dirt better, and may even help in heat dissipation.



It's your ride do what you want, Bling away!

i really doubt that any of us are painting our calipers to looks like a S model or yellow to pass of as ceramic 8000 dollar upgrade, were mostly doing it do get rid of the brown colored ugly almost rusty looking calipers for something that will compliment the car...
but yeah, red would look nice, so would yellow.
i also think that orange would look reallllllly nice, i wanted to do that as well....for someone who has orange tail lights and headlights and side markers, it would really go well....

I have always been a fan of the yellow calipers, but remember "I've been known to have poor taste." lol

If you want to see orange, head over to PPBB and ask PPBON to show a pic of his Orange Brembos.

Have you thought of blue or green? that would be different on a black car.
