Cool caliper paint color

As you can see is my pics, i have that new red metalic color gm just brought out a few months back. I am wanting to paint my caliper but i am lost to find which color would look good on my color car. I want something that everyone can since that it the reason why people do this. Any ideas would be nice or if i could get someone to photoshop one i would appreciate it too.

I used the GM color match spray paint to do them and its been on there since September 1st with no chipping, flaking, or pealing. And its the only color I know of that matchs our cars color.

Would a yellow look good or would it send off a ricer image. Im goin for a clean look but i want it to catch peoples eye. Black is to dark and silver would almost what they look like factory.

i think the yellow would put a flag of rice, but i think the best color for calipers are black, black calipers go with every single color on a car

Go black or red, simple as that IMO.

High temp paint is recommended. It will stick fine as long as you clean the **** out of the calipers prior to painting them and be sure to let them cure for at least eight hours
