I think like a gold/bronze with some sparkle would look good.

I did black - It just looks clean and subtle. Silver is the color the caliper would be if always kept super clean.

Sparkle paints look a bit cheap and distasteful, and nothing says "I'm to cheap to buy the BBK" like red or blue.

Go with a matte gold or black. Update the rotors too while you at it. Some nice slotted ones would complete the look.

Cool

I prefer the OEM color, unpainted. It looks just fine.

BUT, black would probably be the acceptable color. As red, blue, and others look very faux.

You should upgrade your brake kit and leave them the color they come.
Don't fake the funk and paint your oem calipers.

Maybe buy some TL calipers and upgrade.

red or black... either way, make sure you clean the calipers really good with a drill w/wire brush attachment and apply 2-3 coats. The time spent prepping for paint + extra coats will make the paint job last longer!

I had a black Prelude... I went from red to silver to black. All look good to me.
The red has a sportier look. Silver is more subtly clean. Black is stealthy and doesn't stand out but looks 100x better than not painted at all.

Silver or black. Any color will look tacky as hell on stock brakes.
Especially red.

One vote for red. Yellow is neat too.

Did my TSX in black. Anything is better than rust color. I did my MDX in red; which, I like a lot. The only problem with any color other than black is keeping them clean of brake dust.
