What color should i paint my calipers??

I have an 09 cobalt ss/tc that is imperial blue metallic. I plan on powdercoating the rims either gold or bronze so what color should i paint my calipers. Was thinking either gold or color matched to the body?

Color matched to the body would be nice. The WRX STI looks real good with blue/bronze combo. I take it thats kinda what your going for.

Powdercoat them silver to match your rims.

Either leave 'em black or color match them blue. Personally, I'd do blue cause it would look sick
