What color should I paint my brake calipers?

[LuchitoGT]

Hello all I'm new to the forum (btw best forum of celicas)I was wondering If u guys could give me some advice on what color to choose for my brake calipers, I want to paint them but I'm not sure what color to use. I have a Spectra Blue Celi with black rims.... I was thinking either to paint them in blue or red...
I'm sorry if my English is not that well... I live in Peru and i couldnt find any good Spanish speaking forums.. Anyways all suggestion will be welcome :)

personally I like them in a nice, shiny gloss black

FYI this is probably the millionth "what color should I paint my brake calipers thread"

black...any other color seems to glorify stock calipers. (silver/gold) are acceptable depending on the car.

Paint it the same color as your car's color. Blue.

Red. With gold wheel it's superb.

Point taken! I CANT READ FOR SH#T at 7am without my coffee. (Sounded like to me he was thinking of red lights in the headlamp assembly.)

LEDs would be cool. I'm looking for LED bulbs to replace a few of the lamps in my headlight assembly as well. :wiggle:

Painting calipers....(Back on topic)

I've been toying with this idea as well (No pun intended).

Since my car is Solar Yellow, the first obvious choice would be RED. But I've since thought of how I love the orange illumination in the car. So I've thought perhaps ORANGE calipers would be a nice contrast that would match without going outsite the cars color scheme.

I'll have to do some "Paint.net-chops" (Don't use adobe products) on this first to see how they look, but since it's winter, and I have my "winter" rims and tires on now, I will wait until spring to do anything.
