Hey all..been thinking about painting the calipers on my car. I can't for the life of me decide on a color. Trying to find a color that makes the ride look classy/sporty without looking too ricey. My car is scuba Blue and i have the stock 10 spoke rims. any color suggestions folks?

a ligher shade of blue might look good. there is am M5 in my office building which is dark blue with lighter blue calipers, looks sharp.

I feel that stock calipers should be painted black or a dark gray. The lighter colors show the dust.

Big brakes can pull off the brighter, more noticeable colors such as red or yellow.

i would love to paint my S5 calipers red or yellow, that would look tight.

It might not be the sexiest but what about a bright silver color? Maybe?

yep, painted mine a metallic black....

first tho, I painted them silver then placed the audi rings stencil (stickers) on them;
then I painted them black, removed the stencils and you are left with the Audi rings in silver with black calipers.

I'm in the same boat as you, have a blue S5 with black calipers and soon moving to a blue SQ5, not sure if to get the caliper painted red or not...........

CERTS

I have a Brilliant Red A5 and got them painted red. Best decision ever (a no-brainer with a red car, but lots of high end sprts cars come with red calipers regardless of car color)

red is so cliche......how about yellow?

2015 RS5 has red calipers as an option vs standard black. I am ordering the red.

Have red on two of my other cars and love em.
