brake calipers

Hey guys,

Do you guys think I should paint my calipers red or black? Mine are rusted and they need to be painted. I bought red caliper paint but I can always return it.

If you do it, let me know how it goes. I've seen them painted, they look good. If you think you can do a good job, go for it. I'd love to see before and afters if you do it, As mine need some paint too!

I would say get some high temp paint and paint them red. I think regardless of vehicle color, red or yellow(true sports car only) calipers look really good.

First mod I did when I got the truck 2.5 yrs ago brand new. This isn't a very good pic because the truck is filthy but the caliper paint has held up great. I just need to get a nice set of wheels like yours.
