I am leaning towards RED but I've been looking at different options.

I have chrome wheels on arctic silver.

Since I only want to paint these calipers once.
I have spent a fair amount of time on each caliper cleaning them..
Drill wire brush, hand wire brush, sanding and cleaner...

My choices are:

1. Red
2. Silver
3. Black

Sorry you fast yellow owners but I don't think fast yellow will go with the arctic silver..

Thanks for your input..

IMO Red contrasts nice with silver and makes for a classic if not common combo (my car has this combo). But then I've never cared for chrome wheels, so I don't know how they'd mix. When I was in Italy in 2010 I saw a lot of orange, as well as light green (almost mint) that looked pretty sharp. High gloss white with black lettering might look sharp, if only for a short time...

Understated elegance- High Gloss Black
Subtle bling- Red
