Default What color calipers on Silver car?

Curious if anyone has done any “non traditional” colors on their silver c6 calipers. Already have red calipers on my Z and do not like yellow. I did orange calipers on my black c6 last year and that looked fantastic but not sure what would look best on silver with black top and rims.

I was thinking about blue as well, I like something a bit flashier than black.

We can make them any color you want... here are some samples of the work we've done. We also have cores so we can ship you a complete set instead of leaving your car on jack stands while waiting for your set to be done... Just about any color looks good on a silver car

It's not as expensive are you think... we rebuild each caliper with new seals and boots, Free Shipping, time to disassemble and reassemble calipers (about 1.5 hours), stickers for the calipers, and the costs of powder coating. Look into what it would costs you to paint calipers to have it done nicely and you be surprised how expensive it gets. We end up getting calipers every month from customers who try and paint them themselves.. paint doesn't last and doesn't look anywhere close to what powder coat looks like... this price is for C6 Z06.. do you have a base or Z51 car? If so the price is only $339-$359 shipped to you

I have a z06, I have painted calipers in the past and they still look brand new. I can put that $630 to something much more useful
