Caliper color?
What color should I paint my calipers? I would also like to get opinions on whether to use spray or brush on paint. I would like a color that stands out and contrasts the chrome wheels.
This should help

+1 on color matching the calipers to your paint color or go with black.
Why would you want to make your factory brakes stand out when you have oversized 20" wheels on your car? The only way I would want to draw attention to the brakes with those wheels would be if I had upgraded(larger) Brembo brakes that would fill out some of that gap inside the wheel...
Re: Brush or Spray... I used the G2 paint with the brush and really like the results.

Yeah I thought about red, but not sure on that. I don't think color matching on the Alloy gray would stand out that much......I might as well go black then. As far as the gap in the wheels, I don't think it is that large in front, but the back is notiecable. I plan to upgrade the rotors to DRT's, but I don't think I will oversize them.
