Anyone have pics of painted calipers?

I have a white SS that I want to paint the brake calpiers on. I'm thinking either red, white, or black. Does anyone have pics, or can anyone photoshop some pics for me?

FYI, White would get dirty VERY VERY easily.. I would go with Red calipers or a Black/Red contrasting combo. There is more than one section to the calipers which u can paint. These pics show the differences:

Oh crap, that's the color I wanted to go for because of my white/black scheme. I don't really want to go for black, since it doesn't stand out though.

So now I am considering black w/ chrome FIREBIRD letters, or silver (close enough to white, interior is silver as well.) Any thoughts?

BTW, all of your calipers look great guys
