Default Graphite grey pearl car, red calipers?

I been pondering this for a minute. I just got my car painted graphite grey pearl and im dying to do something else to the outside. I was washing my car on saturday and noticed my calipers are fugly, I was thinking of painting them red, but leaving my rear drums gloss black(painted them a couple months ago). I think it would look sweet, what do you think?

same here, I think it would look pretty good too. I'm not looking forward to the task though, I wish I could take off the calipers w/o having the brake pads coming out, seems it would be easier to paint than masking everything off. And yes, I'll post pics once I get it done:thumbup:

yup. go for it. i did mine blue with caliper paint and high-temp clearcoat over that. unfortunately, it gets dirty easily and i do recommend taking everything apart to paint it as i did, but it takes quite a while.

It would look really cool. Make sure to put pics of it on here when you are done so we can all see what it looks like.
