What Caliper Color?

So I am going to be putting on new wheels soon and I want to paint he calipers while I am at it. What color and shade should I go with for a silver car? I can't really decide so I wanted some suggestions and maybe pics. Red kinda gets played out so idk about that. Maybe blue or even yellow. I'm afraid silver or black won't stick out enough.

Here is a picture and my wheel thread.

Exactly what I was thinking. I will go yellow most likely. I don't know if I will do it when I put the new wheels on since I am pretty busy with school right now. Might have to wait a month or so. We will see if I get some free time. If I did them now I wouldn't have to time to really do the prep work. I guess I could do them once quick to get an idea, and then redo them in the spring nicer.

thanks i get a handful of comments on em every day. imo they are perhaps the best wheel that looks kinda stock. ive had one guy tell me my gp is the best hes ever seen and ive had some tell me it look like it came stock like that.
 
red is plaid out, yellow is good looking but its gotta be on the right coloured car. the lambo in the dark knight looked great with yellow calipers
 
Why don't you check out some gold paint as well.. I really think that would look tight as hell too. I was considering doing that with my car.
 


Step back for a second and think about what you want.

Do you want everyone on the road to see your calipers?
Paint a bright obnoxious color. Red, Yellow etc Tell the cops I said hi.

Do you want them to blend in with the wheels?
Paint something close to the wheels you are choosing.

Do you want them to be invisible so that people look at your wheels instead of the calipers?
Paint them black. They hide nicely that way. This is always my personal choice. Looks better than rust or oxidized aluminum and doesn't attract attention.
