Default Calipers yellow vs red on a seal gray 03 C2??

That's my dilemma,

I want to paint my black bake calipers but can not decide on a color.

Which color would look the best on an 03 seal gray
Yellow vs red vs blue...

Post pics if available

TIA

I alway think yellow looks better on calipers - red is too common!! Heck I saw a Hyundai yesterday with red calipers!!

OK, neither were options so I apologize in advance.

1st vote: Pearl white
2nd vote: The style of Eddie Van Halen's Guitar

Yeah I'm sort of leaning towards the yellow ones!

Still would like more opinions

Neither color will look right on a C2.

Blue sounds interesting. Obviously red typically indicates the upgraded brakes of an S or a turbo. Yellow typically indicates PCCB. Blue would look custom...

I've seen orange as well as bright green too, which are interesting options.

I'd go with red over the yellow.

If your looking for something more unique... Try brembo racing gold as seen on motorcycle calipers or their mono block calipers. Lay red brembo lettering over them. I had gold calipers on my titanium grey G35. Looked sharp to me.

I've never thought about gold calipers! That would look sharp with the gold center caps Porsche emblem

Thank,

Keep the ideas coming..
