Poll: Brake caliper color :)
The Dung Beetle is once again resting on stands for the next month or so while I perform regular maintenance as well as some cleaning...
While my original black calipers are in decent shape considering their age, I'm itching to refresh them. To that end, I'd like some thoughts regarding color. My initial plan was to have these powdercoated (had some discussions with a Rennlister who does this), but at this stage I've decided to strip, bead blast and then carefully repaint using VHT high temp primer/paint/clear. I would do all the work myself.
Let's hear your thoughts. (I'm leaning towards yellow....)

Ogre - you should do whatever makes you happy! How about you buy some nice bright PINK paint and get started. 
On a serious note, I think RED looks great with our Polar Silver paint. Yellow would also look slick in my opinion, as its different than the norm.

You asked so I would leave them alone or restore to original.

I would either go with a nice floral pattern or leave them stock.
Your car is so nice, I would not go mucking around with it..... Refinish to pristine condition and leave well enough alone.
