What color calipers with a red car?

Mine were looking pretty crappy, so I just painted them black about a year ago, it looks clean. I was just wondering if you guys know if anyother color looks pretty good on a Red Camaro with black top.

Thanks.

When I finally get around to painting my calipers I'm going to go with either red or black.

hey whats up. i think that either the polished look or yellow would look good with your red car. black is always good too because it goes with any color. lata

I did mine in red, it looks good on my red Z, I have the 16" stock 5 star Z28 wheels in silver and the red calipers stand out nicely with the silver.
I did them over a year ago and they still look like I just painted them. I used Caliper paint made by plasticote.

If you have aftermarket rims, I would go with polished, with Red Colormatched Caliper decals.

If you have stock rims, I would just paint them red.

but if you have polished or chrome rims wont it kinda blend in? I dont think that they would be that noticable if they kinda matched your rims
