Debating, Red, Silver or Black..maybe other colors?

I say as polished as you can get them with a clear protective layer of something to prevent corrosion...or chrome them
...son!

That's a good idea actually.. the chrome would cost me too much in Montreal. So I'll have to pass on that. I'm asking colors cause I can purchase a whole kit to repaint the calipers for $25. Brake cleaner, brush, paint, and something else that I don't remember

I say black with white lettering, or just plain black...
black conducts heat better and it doesn't look dirty like a white or other colored caliper would...
