Caliper Painting

I am thinking about painting my calipers but am unsure of what color would look good. Can anyone give me an idea. The car is white, with the ws6 emblem trimmed in red and the firebird logo and trans am lettering between the taillights are also in red. Post pictures if you have them. Thanks...

Yep... you've already got the white/red combo going on so might as well continue with it

I would go with red on your calipers too. I did mine in that color and it really sets the car off nicely.

I painted mine orange, only because thats the color of my car and red would of looked kind of trashy. On any other color car I would do red.

I'd like to see those pics when you get them up...mine are black with the chrome CAMARO decals...I'm thinking of painting them silver, then removing the decals revealing the black underneath.

Heres mine. My digital camera doesnt like red, so these sorta look a little orangish, but they are a perfect match for the red paint of my car:

This one is before the clearcoat:

Question

I was thinking of painting my calipers too. My car is red. If I painted them red, would it be too much red?

What do you guys clean the calipers with before painting them. Do you have to use a special kind of paint. And my last question is, where do you get the decals for the calipers?

Thanks
