Is that a .44 mag caliber?
Just teasing. I'd try to match the body color. Mine is black, so red worked just fine for me.

Mag Red on the calipers would be very nice.

I'm not a fan of painting, only because paint will hold the heat in the calipers when you really want them to be letting go of heat. Now if you can get them ceramic coated with a coating that diffuses heat, then that'd be awesome! VB&P has a caliper (eXtreme??) that's coated internally to reject heat, and coated externally to diffuse heat....and the pistons are vented and tipped with titanium too.

Take your pick ...
But if you meant calipers (I know you did) ... I think a silver would set off the Mag Red!

I carry a .40 every day but .308 is great for getting out there when you need to and I really like the portability of .223 in my ar-15's.
Oh wait, never mind.......................
