Default Painting Brake Calipers...

I will be painting my break calipers black shortly and I'm considering adding caliper decals for a finishing touch. My question is, what color do you all think this lettering should be? Dark red to go with the color scheme of the car? Silver? Any other color?

Stay with your body color it will flow better. But if it going to be too dark to see when I would go with white so it pops against the black

Less is more. You've got a great looking ride going there.

I would do the calipers in body color and then use black decals. The bottom line is, even painted, those calipers are no great shakes. I tried not to draw too much attention to mine (see below).
