What do you guys think would be the best color to paint the brake calipers on a silver alero? I was gonna go with white, any suggestions?

nothing but stock silver outside and tan inside for now.

White would be cool but will get dirty fast.

Red, Yellow, Blue, and maybe Silver come to mind

A high gloss silver to match the paint would look good.

I went with silver and it looks clean and big.

i have been thinking about painting mine red (i think that would look the best) and replacing the silver vinyl on the windshield with red also. i dont want it to look too ricy though.

Someone else here did theirs in a glossy black (don't remeber who), that would look good no matter what color your car is.

on mine i didnt use spray cuz that stuff isnt really that good. i bought a caliper kit and its a can with a brush and u paint ur caliper. hte paint is super thick. after putting on like 5 coats on caliper and middle of rotor i also bought a can of 500 degree clear coat and clear coated the poop out of them. that is why they are soo shiny. and dirt doesnt really stick to it. when i spray painted the calipers blue when i first had my car the calipers would get soo dirty and i was always scrubbing them. i would def. clear coat em. here is a clear coated red. i did his after i did mine.
