Can't Make Up My Mind On Caliper Paint!!!!
Subject says it all... here are my choices:
Red, Yellow, Black Satin, Silver, or Blue
Keep in mind my car is Shale Green Metallic, and my wheels are Chrome and Black...... so yea... im really debating between, Red and Silver... def. leaning more towards silver, i wish the black was a glossy finish not a satin finish... :-\ Idk... def. havin' a rough time making up my mind... so lets hear it guys....

silver or just get some gloss black paint... it will hold up to the heat aslong as it is prept properly... i have used regular paint on my calipers since i got the car... but i have changed the paint at least three different times.... just keep it in mind...

That's the kit I'm using to do mine.... and they offer 9 colors....
If it was me, since you have such an off color, I'd look for a custom paint color to match your body.....but thats expensive....
I'd go with silver or gold....simply to make the caliper stand out. A dark green, black, and silver/gold would look good.... Red would remind people of Xmas....and several other colors would just look tacky.
Black wouldnt look good either because it wouldnt stand out....and you'd just be better served to leave it the stock color...
