Default Need caliper color opinion and advice!

I'm going to paint my calipers. My car is black w/ chrome C6 wheels. I can't decide between red or black. Also, what's best to clean the calipers with? Thanks for the help! Zuti

If you want to be a little different from the norm, paint the calipers black with red letters and paint the caliper brackets red.

Just make sure you use the correct primer. Remember, those calipers are aluminum, and aluminum doesn't like paint. It has a tendency to peel off in 3 to 5 months.
Just an FYI.

There are a number of caliper paint kits that include cleaner. I used the Duplicolor system. Worked great, but didn't use the crappy brush that came with it! They have both red and black.
