Default Brake caliper color choices on DWP

Since I'm not sure on a BBK yet I just wanted some opinions on caliper paint colors.. Right now i have black but was thinking the Fsport blue.. Where can i get that color or come close to getting that color.. I know most of you will say Red but just not feeling that color..

Thanks

I dont like the color red much on the calipers. My sugguestion would be Silver metallic, or gold, or either your thoughts of FSport blue.

Thanks, Yea like i said I'm not really feeling the Red either, Black blends in to much. I have thought of silver or the blue..

A metalic Copper color might look good to. Not quite as flashy as gold but would stand out.
