Default Don't paint them....the trend is over (more)

Porsche may still get away with it, but painting your calipers isn't the hippest thing to do.

There is an easy way to tell if an auto fad has passed...if you see it on one of the following cars:

Toyota Tercel or Camry
any Hyundai

What's cool is having liquid cooled 16-piston calipers that cost $6k ea and are anondized gold, but since this is out of 99% of our price ranges I would at least plead that you anondize not paint your calipers if possible.....

Yellow, all the way. It would complement the blue very nicely.

Red is the internationally recognized colour for STOP. It should bring your distances way down!

Will you be able to see the calipers through the Avus wheels or all the dust?

I will next spring when I change the brake pads and purchase new wheels and tires.

Green with orange dots is best for stopping, but I don't like the way it looks.
