Question What Color Should I Paint Calipers?

I have a 2006 rally yellow Cobalt SS supercharged. G85 package so the inter is black. My wheels are going to be 19 inch black with polished lip. I also have custom mesh grills in black. I'm going to have a CF wing, CF hood. What is going to look best?

You should base it on the wheels you have or are gunna have say you have black wheels with polished lip polished would look good but yellow stands way out more thats just what i think but i would recommend G2 Caliper paint man

Those look good man but they really dont stand out that much to me but they look good with those rims it depends if you want them to stand out or not but those polished ones are really nice

I've got yellow and I love my calipers! But with your rims, polished calipers would look sick. However, I'm not sure how hard that would be to keep nice. With the yellow paint, it's not that hard at all.

yellow forsure. black and polished you wouldnt even be able to notice hardly. not to mention, polished front calipers would get dirty after 10 mins of driving. yellow without a doubt would look the best. not to mention would stand out alot more then anything else.

I vote black.........or stock.

I'm not a fan of self painted calipers. Then again, I am helping my girlfriend paint her rear calipers on her '05 Tibby red to match the front calipers (the SE V6 models come stock with red painted calipers), so who am I to talk, lol.

I think too much of any color can be a bad thing
