anything but black or silver? those are what would look best in most of our opinions. Come on, no yellow or blue or anything. Even red is a little ricey w/ all the silver you have on the car. Paint them black they will blend in better look cleaner and not draw un needed attention. Why draw attention to your brakes???? It's not like you have upgraded rotors or anything. So peoples eyes are gonna toward your stock brakes and not your fat sweet ride?

I ordered "Racing Blue" caliper paint last weekend. I did a little Photoshop work to check the color first. I ordered from this place.

A guy I work with painted his VW GTI's calipers with this product. It looks very good. I'll let you know how mine goes once I've painted them.
