Silver would probably look pretty good on a yellow car, but hard to beat red calipers on any color car.

I just painted mine red but havent figured out how im going to paint the letters and make them come out nice. Im no artist and im afraid if i try to do it with a paint brush the lines wont be straight and it will look like crap

Paint the entire caliper and remove the paint from the letters with thinner.

Picked up a can of VHT High Temp Metallic, Black Pearl Paint to hit the calipers with while the tires were being changed. One can did the trick for all four.... Thought about powder coating them but this was such a cheap and quick fix for now. Gives me a chance to see if I like it first.
