Although interesting, I think off the wall colors look, ummm well unless its a true custom or show car.
I want the look of high end brake systems without the high end. Red is popular, yellow you can find on Porsches, gold/red is from Brembo, the silver/red I was thinking of the GS.

Black calipers if your wheels were chrome, but since you have black wheels and you seem to want the calipers to stand out, you cant go with black. id stay with Red, but then the red doesnt follow the fully black theme.

You are in a bit of a vicious circle with this.... G2 sells a purple color caliper paint.

Thumbs!

I am gonna go with gloss black calipers on my black vert with chrome gumbies.

Thanks 'all, anymore pics? Would really like to see yellow or gold w/red lettering.
Although I agree, red really is amazing but the prob is, everyone does red, you know what I mean?

I thought about that but w/red lettering, like the GS. But then after looking at it it just blended with the rotors.

Im gonna "test" paint them yellow with black letters seeing as "no one" has yellow on black to share, then ill decide. Red def has the popular vote and I dont deny its brillance.
Id still also like to see gold with red lettering like the older brembos.

I know see post #26

Gold would be nice, w/black lettering on your car. Red seems like a viable option but its basically a "me too" color". You have black wheels so black calipers would just blend in.

I have seen a local c6 w/red calipers and they looked kinda dull. Is there a "best" paint or paint kit for calipers? what is the best way to clean them before paint?
Nice looking rides above!!!

I had a blacked out C5. I did mine in tangelo (orange) with black letters. I really liked it and people commented on it all the time. Plus is was different.
