Red would make your car look like the ketchup & mustard car.

Every city has atleast one of'em. Go yellow!

Lol, never could figure out why it wouldn't look good but ketchup/mustard explains it. Go yellow for sure.

+1 on the duplicolor kit , easy peasy.

I left the calipers on, drove thru the entire winter up here and they still shine when they are clean.

I used the duplicolor kit. Got it for like 18 bucks at Advanced Auto. Took about an afternoon while taking in some bud light and watching the race. Not too hard to do at all, most fun part was trying to find where to put my jack stands!!!

I'll be painting mine sometime over the next week, I'm putting new rotors and pads on anyway, so why waste time?

I'm doing mine orange, because its my fav color, I've never seen anyone with orange-painted calipers, and im just tired of red and yellow and the like.

I also used the duplicolor kit. It was about 15 bucks at autozone. It took me about 4-5 hours too do because I had to use the jack from the car and could only do one wheel at a time. But it turned out pretty good and the paint has been holding up good. Just make sure to put a couple coats of paint on each caliper.
