What color to paint brake calipers?

Was wanting some opinions on brake caliper color for the SS (pewter metallic). I'm leaning toward gloss black with silver "Camaro" letters. Red is also a possibility. I plan on getting some chrome Z06's next month. Thanks.

Ya, black and silver sounds good... red could work too.

both sound good, but the black and silver might look better with the chrome ( i think you can get chrome colored decals from brent franker, if you want)
red might be too busy with the chrome. and that color car... in fact, before you buy the wheels, look into a GUNMETAL color wheel, you might like that.

Why not pewter with black or stainless decals?

Someone did pewter but I can't remember where I saw it

YOu really can't go wrong with red. It pretty much goes with everything. but everyone has them. I painted mine "Chevrolet Orange" with an engine paint I found at walmart. Just like $3 a can. Looks great, but then again my car is white. Just a thought though.

I vote for red, I think if you paint them pewter they will just look dirty.
