Default Red or Black calipers?

Ok so here soon i will have my rims powder coated black and my car will be murdered completely then and was wanting to paint my calipers. I was wondering if anyone has pictures of black painted calipers or would it look better to have red? opinions and thoughts please.

I would stick with the theme, black.

I don't get the whole, "hey my entire car and accents are one color but my calipers are red" thing.

I think the black would look best since your going all black anyway.

I just think the red would add some nice contrast.
Of course black out look good too though.

I bouught the black caliper paint then exchanged it for red. Looked to me that if I painted them black they would have disappeared. I have to agree with Tanner05 that the red adds contrast.
