Some people match their calipers with the body paint......in my opinion? Red calipers FTW!

What's the too commonly used color out there? Red is it? I want something a little different. Thinking... Blue.

... Someone shoot me for being stupid but I don't think I want yellow - definitely not pink.

And I just noticed, you MSPainted that first image! Couldn't tell initially. Looks good with the "MS" painted red calipers. ^_^

As you can see in this pic of the finished product, I painted the brackets too. Gives it a more finished look and makes the caliper look bigger.

Yeah, I seen your 1st pic(unpainted) and thats what made me think about it.
Was thinking it will look bigger with the brackeet painted.
