Default Caliper Paint

I just got some new wheels which really show the brakes. I am wondering what people thoughts are on painting the calipers?

Do it, makes it look a lot better. The calipers just seem to clash with most wheels and I think it really helps to get some paint on them to either hide them or make them accents.

I've always liked red calipers to add some color.

Yes paint them. I just did mine red and what a difference. You may also want to paint the rotors as well. Mine were starting to look like crap and my car is a weekend driver and doesn't see weather. I did the rotors with some G2 caliber paint. I did the rotors black to match the stang and looks really clean.

I just painted mine with the Duplicolor kit on Friday. Here's a couple pics of the results:
