Need some Advise on my calipers...

I have a Taff/White TL and want to paint my Calipers...I just dont know what color to paint them. I'm looking for a clean/tight look. I was thinking white but not sure.

Thanks

I say go with either Red, Black or Silver. The white would look good but is a pain to keep clean.

White calipers would be really hard to keep clean......any color other than silver (in my opinion) looks ghetto unless you have some big ass aftermarket calipers or something. Stock calipers painted red (or any other bright color) look really stupid. Paint them silver, looks the best and you won't look like a ricer.

Mine have been powdercoated silver for a couple of years now. Looks clean. I had them sanded down also so that it's smooth.

I don't know if this will help, BUT, I have a WDP TLS, and I painted the calipers black. Looks really clean and subtle. I picked black because it matches my tint and my interior. I dont know if you want to go with black since your interior is parchment.

Silver works, but I like black best, tight and clean with no caffine.

I am thinking about painting my calipers glossy black too. But I am also thinking about putting on "Acura" decals on them. Will it be too hot for the decals to hold up?
