I like it.
I have a MagRed II car and the regular gloss red calipers really clash with this color.
This year I plan on doing black as well.

I went with black as well but I painted the pads silver to add a little contrast. I just couldn't find another color that I thought would work well with pewter.

Hi There:
You should have painted them navy blue metallic, same as your exterior color.
