Default What color should I go with??

I want to paint my stock calipers like MikeSF did but I'm not sure what color to go with. I have a tungsten grey, so what do you guys think would look good? I'd want something that will pop or stand out a bit since everything on my car is silver, black, and grey. I'm gunna photoshop some ideas and put up pictures when I get a chance..

So what do YOU think would look good on my t-grey??

Y'know it's funny you should ask because I was just looking at TEXASGT/CS's blue calipers and was wondering if it would look as good on my Tungsten Gray as they do on his.

i normally would say the color of the car, i get tired of seeing everyone with red or black, but since you have grey and want it to stand out i would agree with the red

As overdone as red is, it looks good and really pops, IMO. I did it to mine and I love them, I used the Duplicolor paint from Advance Auto. I just wish they had a bit more gloss to them. Anybody know of a rattlecan clear that's safe for calipers?
