, in that order of preference. However, if you are going to get powder coated calipers (or paint them yourself), go with whatever color your calipers will be (probably red).

If your interior is red or black, I would match it. Otherwise, I'd go black.

Save yourself some money and paint them in. You can easily paint them in with a Sharpie " paint" pen. Not a marker. You could buy both red and black and try it and see how it looks on your car for about
$ 8.00. If you don't like it it washs off with some rubbing with mineral spirits and it does not harm the clearcoat. It is really easy to do since the letters are recessed.

I have the same problem... Just can't decide what color to paint the small bumper letters on my VR coupe? Also what size Sharpie paint marker do you recommend...........
