Default Caliper Color

Ok so I am guessing this has been asked before but I am wanting to paint my calipers and cant decide what color. I just put different wheels on my car so it is different than the avatar. I have 17 inch boxster wheels on it and my car is black so what color should they be.

O yea i dont want it to be too ricey.
Just post another colors if I didnt put them on there.

I like red - but everyone has red calipers now so be a bit different. Yellow looks very good on black cars.

red or black is the only way to go. yellow is ricey (unless you have a yellow car but still even then a little weird, and dark blue is weird unless you have a blue car to match because then that would be badass) my opinion is paint 'em black.

He must have PCCB if his calipers are yellow...Porsche just made him smaller brake rotors that's all

Red's got my vote!

Deep Purple , will look black from a distance and yet add some flavor.

Yellow CAN look ricey.

Red is over done.

I also like the look of a nice dark Gray if you want to go modest yet tastefully different.

I mean no offense I just strive to be different and encourage people to think outside the box .

Personally, as long as seafoam, fuscia, lime, safety orange, and a host of other hideous colors are forced to remain in Tokyo, I'm all for it.

Red is nice...but Black looks better longer. Its almost impossible to keep any other color clean.

Unless you have turbo calilper stay stock.

The floating single piston jobs look like crap when you paint them. Colored is fine for the 4 piston units.
