Default Paint the calipers...opinions..'cause we're so god at giving them

So, I have a Black on Black '07 GT and I am putting silver stripes on in the next month.

Do I paint the calipers red (I loved the red calipers on my black BMW) or do I leave them the factory silver that are on there now?

Comments and pictures are VERY welcome

Jon

You shoud get red stripes, then yes go ahead and paint the cals red. If youre gonna stick with silver stripes, leave the cals silver.

I'll throw this out there ... I'm thinking of going black calipers with my black on black 07. If you have pics of those I haven't seen many pics around here.

Painting stock calipers just draws attention to the fact that they are...stock calipers. Don't paint 'em.

I have a black GT/CS. I don't know if I will paint the calipers but if I did, they would be black.

Factory silver looks kinda cheap IMO,did mine in VHT cast iron grey. (I don't really want them to be a focal point, particularlyon stock calipers) ...but to each their own,in any event Iwouldn't leave the OE shiny silver.
