Ugh - Cannot figure out Caliper Color!
Yes this is a major dilemma, lets stop the world for it, haha.
Ive seen a couple of pictures, but I am trying to get a color that will make the person who sees the caliper say... "Wow, that thing is HUGE" rather than "Why did he paint it that color?"
Its a Garnett Pearl.
I was thinking about Gold or Bronze, but it may clash with my rims. Then I was thinking Silver or Gunetmal, but it might blend in... I think Red may not look nice since it will clash with the car.
I have no idea and I am trying to get ideas for my Supra TT fronts and rears whenever they come in.
Here is my car
Post your opinions... if you have a 3k3 color, or similar with painted calipers.. POST those pics!

Theres a special powder coating that people use for candy coatings. The first stage has to be bright silver or chrome so you can get the "candy effect". When I had mine done my guy used the chorme one, its alot like a polished metal color. I liked the chrome/polished color, but i opted for the purple... What I'm basically saying is you can get powder coating thats similar to polishing them. Let me know... I'll give you a number to call here thats local.

I like a low-shine black (that's what I have) because I don't want people to see them 
On the other end of the spectrum, polished would be nice (especially if they're Endless BBK's like on Gadget's SC... drool).
