Orange SS/SC-- what color caliper paint??

I have a sunburst orange ss/sc and wanted to paint my calipers but problem being i dont know what color would look good for my car that being said.... I dont wanna put red on my calipers or blue simply put it will clash a whole lot....

I was wondering if any sunburst orange ss/sc owners have their cobalts calipers painted and what color they went with??

Black??

Colors are here:

Probably black would be best...and no brake dust worries!

Halloween colors!

i have black. well i have the kit, just been slightly lazy and haven't gotten around to actually putting forth the effort. it'll get done eventually though..

anyways, i think black would look the best, thats my 2 cents.

I'm a firm believer in red calipers looking the best on any color car.

Black hands down. i never understood why people paint their stock calipers red.... i would never want to take away attention from my car, to focus more on my "stock" calipers....

I have an ls and did the front with chevy orange engine paint as a base and then a metallic burnt orange over top which made it very close to matching the car color. However i did the drums in the rear black.

I have a silver car and I think if I go with any color paint it will be black.

i honestly think the best color is red on silver, blue, black, red

but on cars like orange where red and orange are almost two identical colors it will not work
