What do you guys think would be the best color to paint the brake calipers on a silver alero? I was gonna go with white, any suggestions?

White would be cool but will get dirty fast.
Red, Yellow, Blue, and maybe Silver come to mind

A high gloss silver to match the paint would look good.

i have been thinking about painting mine red (i think that would look the best) and replacing the silver vinyl on the windshield with red also. i dont want it to look too ricy though.

Someone else here did theirs in a glossy black (don't remeber who), that would look good no matter what color your car is.

on mine i didnt use spray cuz that stuff isnt really that good. i bought a caliper kit and its a can with a brush and u paint ur caliper. hte paint is super thick. after putting on like 5 coats on caliper and middle of rotor i also bought a can of 500 degree clear coat and clear coated the poop out of them. that is why they are soo shiny. and dirt doesnt really stick to it. when i spray painted the calipers blue when i first had my car the calipers would get soo dirty and i was always scrubbing them. i would def. clear coat em. here is a clear coated red. i did his after i did mine.
