leave them black, or do silver.


anything else will clash too much.

silver or red.

Thats the basic answer but if it were me I would do different cause......well I do.


I would consider two tone either purple caliper with silver arm or visa versa


I did it with them on the car with a brush

Purple to match the car, or black to match the stripe. I think silver would clash.

Silver or black. The brakes don't fill up the wheels enough to draw attention to them. It'll just make the brakes look even smaller. Especially in the rear.

This. I'd just leave them alone.

I'd say silver or purple/silver. Make sure the color is the exact same color though. Use the silver caliper paint for a base then brush on actual touch up paint over it for the exact same color. Every red I tried to use didnt quite match my body color so I used this method and it was perfect otherwise it looks off.

purple with a silver arm, or vice versa, silver with the purple arm...

Upgrade to black Wilwoods. They look too small with your wheels anyway.

Silver or Black... Probably black... They don't need attention drawn to them... Otherwise if you want color go with the Plum Crazy (I think that's the name) color that the car is with a silver arm...

Why do you want to paint them?

If anything, black.
