Default Painting the calipers

What do most people do when painting the calipers? Paint the main chunk of it red and then paint the part the wraps around the main part black? Or do people paint that part red too?

I painted the front and top red just not the caliper. Looks good though as it is. I just made sure not to get inside the caliper like the pistons and springs and what not.

So you painted the whole thing red versus the red and black?

I just painted the main part of the calipers on mine, not the outer portion. Personal preference really I think it looks good either way

^Woah. I've never seen brakes like that before. And that's probably how I'll end up doing the calipers.
