Im with NEO on this. If you have stock calipers I wouldnt want to call too much attention to them. I think painting them black is best, no matter what color the car is. I think if you put some white stickers on them that would help bring them out a bit but still keep them subtle

Here's what black paint on stock calipers on a black car looks like.
Sorry the picture was taken to show the drop of the L-Tuned springs, but you get the idea.

Got that right.
