Poll: What color should I paint my calipers??

Ok.... I have a yellow 06 SS/SC. I'm plannning on painting my calipers this coming weekend and I want everyones opinion on what color would look best. Oh and I have white/gray decals down the sides it that makes any difference.

Thanks!!

I would take the decals off but they were there when I bought the car (used last fall) and if removed you will notice fading.

ummm not necessarily, our paint responds pretty well to polishing as its a pretty soft paint. a professional detail will get ur car looking like new.

BLACK FTW! even though its not an option
yellow and red is either ketchup and mustard or you are trying to prove how big of a hulk hogan fan you are.
blue=no
gold=definitely no
yellow=too yellow
silver=meh, not bad

I did mine black after i got my rims, red is cool i guess but its on every car, plus i like the stealthy look of black. i don't know about Cobalt's but HHRs aren't black from factory ours are silver.

Yellow.. I'm actually doing the same too soon. Use G2 caliper paint because I heard duplicolor is like a school bus yellow.

Wow...... yellow and red are neck and neck. I'm thinking of staying away from the black because I would like to get some rims eventually and I won't be doing chrome.
