Caliper Color
Those of you with Magnetic Red or Monterey Red cars, what color did you paint your calipers? Since I'm getting Crystal Red, I'm not sure if a non-matching red caliper would look good. Black should look good but I'd really like to paint them red. I'd like to see what a non-matching red would look like, anyone have pictures?

FXB3 had the calipers on his Monterey Red couple powder coated Monterey Red 
. Looked great. I would be worried that mis-matched reds would not look right.

You can get a can of spray paint from your GM dealer that will match your color. I did ours (Anniversary Red) and they look good. Be sure to wash/brush them down good with brake cleaner first, for good paint adhesion.
