Heres a picture of my mustang i just bought a few weeks back. I'm going to be keeping the same color on the car, but im doing the brakes soon, so what color do you think i should paint the calipers. Any ideas?

If you don't do black, get some high temp Silver. IMO, it'd look good if you could get it close to the body color.

But rusty ones look like ***, especially on wheels with big openings.
I went with silver.
