Default Painted Calipers - Blue, Red, or Neither?

Installing gloss black deep dish Bullet 20 X 8.5 wheels with NITTO INVO tires on my Oxford White '14 V6 stock Mustang.

Considering painting my calipers either red or blue (Ford racing blue or as close as I can get to that.)

I think red is overdone and leaning towards blue. Your thoughts?

go with red, you'll like, I have black wheels with red calipers, and they look sweet, no picks, but I'll try to get some tomorrow

Did mine in red, love it. Pretty much got a red theme going.

Red calipers with gloss graphite wheels, albeit a red car.

Scott2...your car looks sharp.

I've had 233 views on this poll and only four votes.

Can anyone suggest why people don't want to vote. They click on the thread, so I would think that shows some interest in the topic, but yet they do not vote. Hmmmmmm

Leave it stock colors or black.
I voted neither, I used to use a Cast iron color paint on brakes to clean them up when I used to show a lot. you wanted clean looking but not eye grabbing look.
