Default So, I'm going to be painting my brake calipers soon...
And I was wondering what you guys thought of doing them in the audi colors (red, gray/silver, and black), with white ring decals?

Here is a picture of the theme I'm talking about (Thanks to Audiworld for the pic):

Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Default creative idea, but it will look odd, keep it simple.
No reason to attract more attention to the puny stock calipers. If I were to paint my calipers it would probably be gunmetal or black.

Its a Misano ALMS so it would kind of match the color scheme
