What color is the car? Maybe you could paint to match. If nothing else, you can't go wrong with black. Silver sounds good too.

I painted mine black along with the spindles and hubs, etc.

I say body color, it matches the best i think. I painted mine red, to match the stripes but on my gf's car we painted hers blue to match the color of the car.

If not body color, silver or black is the way to go.

Check out Duplicolors Anodized Orange Metalcast paint. It looks like SOM

I would agree with powdercoating them a chrome look.

One thing I don't understand is painting the calipers. Its like saying "check out my awsome stoping powers" . But, who am I to say this since I spray paint anything that comes my way. Yes, I am getting professional help for that.
With few years of dicking around with paint I have come to figure out that "CLEAN" is way better looking than "PAINTED". The best thing you can do is have it cleaned and painted. So "CLEAN PAINTED" job is the best.

To figure out what you like the best, get a piece of colored paper, any color you like. Tape it to the caliper with scotch tape put the wheel back on, stand back and evaluate. Repeat the process untill satisfaction is achieved .

That might be a bitch to keep clean though.

My car is black and I am doing mine red... but thats just me... Your wheel finish should also dictate the color choice for caliper as well as your body color. Black is neutral and safe... so is gray

i tryied using the dupli-color caliper paint kit but that **** sucks. the paint woundt cover because it was just as thin as water. so i went to the parts store and grabbed some engine paint and sprayed that on the calipers. im very happy with the color. the pics are crappy, but ill get some better ones once it gets nicer out.

looks good, i actually had good luck with the dupli-color kit for calipers, i did all 4 and the turned out excellent i thought. My gf's car we just spray painted em with high-heat blue paint. Either way you do it you will get same results!
