    Paint them black...I painted mine to try to match the color of my car....ugggh worst thing I ever did to my car. Always dirty and now the paint is starting to chip after 3 years.

    I think silver, black and red are the safest colors.

    Silver or Black looks best on stock calipers...

    Save the bling colors for a big brake kit...

    I did mine black and put some stickers on them. I love the overall look.

    I got the Dupli-Color Caliper Paint System from Canadian Tire. Its really good, comes with everything you need. I've also got some caliper stickers if you need, can get them to you at the next meet or something if interested. Otherwise, pm quattro30v for the decals.

    Paint em black! you won't see any brake dust, and I agree save the red colors for the big brake kits. BTW, I'm thinking the whole red caliper thing is kind of done. decals on EBAY! and they look good!

    My car is black, I think red would look hotter, cause it sticks out through the rims and shows up!

    I did red on stock calipers before on my previous car and I think it looks good but I was too lazy to keep them clean.

    Now I went with black as it matches my car a bit better and I'm hoping will look "cleaner" longer. I posted some pics of the job I did this weekend in another thread...

    Red will look awesome, especially since you have a black car and some sick rims.

    I'd go with black ring decals to finish it off. I have white ones, but if you want black you shoudl contact quattro30v for a set.
