Painted Caliper Opinions Wanted

[DoneRightBimmer]

So I have a 1993 e30 calypsorot Cabrio with black interior. I've started to accumulate the parts I need for my 5 lug swap and other misc suspension work and so im planning to be refinishing all used parts to make them nice and clean.

When it comes to the brake Calipers I've been debating on painted them. With my WRX I went with just black calipers but I've been thinking of what other colors I could go with on the E30.

So what color calipers do you all think would work with my Calypso. FYI front brakes will be e36 M3 and rears are I6 z3 calipers and wheels that will go over them for the time being will be stock color DS1s. Window trim will also be getting shadow-lined.

Bad pic of my car, and no the monster of a Buick in the background is not for sale. :)




Any opinion is appreciated thanks Rob

All I can say with certainty is:

^^not quite an opinion that's more of a fact.

I'd do a pewter silver or a very light gold.

Black. No reason to make single piston brakes stand out.

Gold could look good, otherwise black or silver

[AwakenNoMore]

Black. No reason to make single piston brakes stand out.

This. Multi Pistons look good painted as long as it matches the overall theme of the car.

I painted mine light grey. Kinda fuh raze.
