Painted Calipers
I just did a search and didn't come up with anything.
I would like to paint my brake calipers and I don't want it to look tacky.
Does anyone have a black 8 with painted calipers, or at least suggestions of colors?
I thought about red but don't know if that would be to much. Any pictures would be appreciated. Thanks.

what color did you pick for your calipers?
