Question Silver L's with painted calipers? Red/Yellow

Hey, I was thinking of painting my calipers, and was wondering if any Silver L owners had done it? I was leaning toward either red or yellow. Any pics would be great. Can't get comfortable with either color for some reason. May just decide it is a bad idea, but wanted to see it first. Thanx

Hm... When I went to Discount Auto Parts, there was a metallic silver color. I tested it. Looked pretty cool. It had a sparkle/flake type metallic finish to it. Maybe you should try that?

I painted my calipers a 'sonic blue'ish color. I think it looks sweet. I gotta borrow my friends Digi, so I can post some pics of my latest add-on's.

I painted the ENTIRE brake assembly silver (including the rotor) which looks alot better since you don't have a rusted rotor next to a shiny caliper.
