Painting calipers

OK, I went to PepBoys yesterday to pick up some caliper paint to give a little color behind my wheels. As soon as I started looking at what my color choices were I was stumped... so I bought 4 different colors and figured I would paint it later after I looked on the net to find some pics... So I got blue, red, yellow and silver. I drive a 98 silver sedan. Have silver wheels (sorry, my girlfriend took the digital camera to Scottland). So what do ya'll think? Which color?

Too late... they're black. Couldn't leave 'em "as is"... they were so damn nasty looking. I tried to clean 'em up but there was so much discoloration it was disgusting. Thanks for the input though

i was thinking of painting my front calipers on my '00 silver DX coupe as well. I have Rota Circuit 8 rims, and I want to have something that mot show dust well, and looks better than the ugly gold the calipers normally are. Since the stock drums on my car came a shiney black, I figure I'll match the fronts to the same. =\
