Default What color to paint my Calipers?

i have a black 2001 accord EX sedan
nighthawk black, 15% tint all around, and black housings, stock rims.

i was thinking black, but i wouldnt mind something a little more noticible behind the wheel? is it possible to have an aluminum color??

hmm...I Would say gunmetal? I think that would look good. I have a 96 accord EX white, and I painted my calipers red. I think they look awesome..

I used the silver G2 caliper paint. I don't know of anything else that would be closer than that.

i have a dark green (sherwood) accord with polished c2's. my calipers are painted aluminum and look great in behind the rims. they arent too flashy, but u can tell that theyre nicely painted

I wouldn't paint the drums any color other than black. MAYBE silver, but it would depend on the car and the wheels.
