Painted calipers
Does anyone have any photos of their cars with the calipers painted? I have a 98 Silvermist GTP and wanted to paint mine but I'm not sure what color would look best. I was leaning towards red.
Thanks.

Re: Painted calipers
I don't have any pictures but red always looks good on a silver car. The only other color I would consider is possibly a royal blue.

Here's what I plan on doing to my GTP. We did the same last year on our '02 Alero GL2 (Silver) and it looks nice and not obnoxious. BTW - Used Duplicolor brand disc caliper paint. The caliper is silver with the outer portion of the pads highlighted red.
EXAMPLE
Either way, its a matter of personal preference. Good luck!

BTW - That red caliper looks tacky to me. Might be different if they were Brembos, though.
