What color should I paint my calipers?

I am going to repaint my calipers on my car, but I wanted to know what color would be best to repaint them with. Should I do them the same black again, blue or red? Keep in mind that the color theme for most of my lighting on my car is blue. Here are a few pics so that you all know what car it is going on.

Sorry if I sound like an ass, but I think your rims are ugly. I voted black because I really dislike colored calipers and find it to be rather ricey.

Silver aluminium color would work. Not chrome.

Rims look like Momos? Not my flavor but they don't offend me.

I'd go with black but by the looks of the rest, you like attention so go for silver. It would provide the most contrast. The only way I'd want a color that sticks out is if I had Brembos

can you even see the calipers with those wheels?? mine are red but you cant see them to good becuase the paint is old. im going to paint them again soon.




i think silver would look good with your car. you need a color that will stand out becuase your car has to much black especially with the 3% tint
