What Color to Paint Calipers

OK, so I'm thinking about painting my calipers and rotor hubs, but I can't think of a color that would look good with the Black Cherry Mica. I think either black or silver (boring) would look best, but what do all of you think?

Silver would look real good. The Dark cherry is a hard color to two tone tho.

That's what I was thinking too. But they're already silver and kind of hid behind the stock rims.

how about a dark red that would blend into the cherry with a silver outline. Kinda like Eric's CMZC stickers. He did red over silver decals. You can see the silver outline under the red. You could paint the calipers silver, tape off the edges and do the dark red over the silver.

I personally am thinking about black calipers with dark blue retaining clips.

I like the black-and-blue idea!

I'd say paint your Calipers Black. Don't paint your Hubs... looks too ricey when people do that. My :2cents3fo:

Yeah, but they're rusty. And it looks like shit. Maybe paint them silver so they don't look rusty...

Well actually it would look fine to paint the Hubs Black. I was thinking if you went a Red or Blue then it would be too much.

I painted mine a blue, IMO they look great......I will see if I can snap some pics tonight. I like the idea of you doing them silver with some maroon accents, they will stand out if you use a bright silver. I use a wire brush on my drill to keep my rotor hubs rust free takes like 10 minutes a rotor if you keep up with it. The back ones look the worst rusty.....they will still rust but will look much better than a year or two of rust.

Ask Eric, (regulator) to take a pic of his rotors.. He painted his black and they look good.. I might do the same to just cause i hate the rusty look aswell..

I think black or silver on the hubs would work just fine. I'll take a look at Reg's and see what I think.

Silver on the calipers kind of gets lost behind the big silver wheels. But it is on my list.
