Colour of calipers
Got some LS400 brakes and will need to paint the calipers soon.
What colour will look good?
Black?
Gold?
Bronze?
Silver?
Maroon?
Yellow?
Im trying to go for a VIP look, but that may change
Open to suggestions. Please feel free to photoshop

I just scrubbed mine down with a drill+steel wool attachment and degreaser until they were nice and silver.

If you can spend a bit, go for the chrome dip. If you have a lot of time and your elbows can handle it, go for the polish!

With the Red Centercaps I would do red, I know that was not one of your choices but it would flow really good.

Black would be best for your car...since it's black.
