only black or silver imho...

other colors only if it's the "real deal" like brembo or ap racing or endless

I am painting mine black to match the rotor hubs and the guard strip on the doors.

On my ES, I painted them silver but after a while (50k miles or so) the silver started to show the dirt.

the key is to spray clear coat after the paint. that helps on protection

also, try put 7-8 layers of paint. i did it on my gs400 and after 5 yrs it was still like new

its called "G2" brake caliper enamel paint. no clear-coat needed. once its cured.....its rock hard.

i do agree with rominl about the "real-deal" when painting calipers to look like aftermarket BBK's but it still looks subtle. i like em.

frost, i love the look of yours, but not sure the gold would look good with the silver.
keen on the red but hesitant as well.

personally i just get myself 2 bottles of high temp engine enamel paint, far cheaper than G2 and same results
