Painted Caliper Opinions

Well, I've got all the callipers cleaned up and ready for painting but still can't decide on a colour.

 

Original idea was yellow with black lettering (inspired by the black lamborghini on the HRE Wheels Home page). However, starting to think this may be too showy and possibly even look like wheel clamps or something!

 

Next in line is a blue with white lettering.

 

By the way, its a black car and theyr'e going to be behind Ultralite Daiki's with black spokes.

 

What do you think - yellow or blue?

Inspired by this Supra:

That is one of my fave Supra's, T66Dawg again from SF, if I had a TRD it'd look exactly like that

 

PS this was the photo I was looking for that makes me want red calipers

Depends on car and rim colour really.

Here's my old blue one with yellow calipers:

and here's my current gunmetal one with red calipers:

I think the blue one looks better, with the yellow calipers, but then it had only just been waxed and polished, and it was lowered, but it looked horrible most of the time because dirt showed up badly.
