Going to be puttin 288mm's on soon, just wondering what colour I should do the calipers?

Heres a pic of my car for people who havent seen it...



bearing in mind, my wheels will be sprayed black soon..

Really want them Brocade yellow, but thats just an impossibility

Red, pink, brown? oh god I dunno!

Black.... Just a bit of time required to rub them down and repaint.

I used a small brush.

Unless you have 4 pots why would you want to show off your calipers? Check my big ass mofo 10 tonne weighted, single piston caliper.......

Discs say it all behined small wheels.

The chances of me doing them gold are very high

Got a big advantage tho as the calipers are not on the car yet, so i can just drop them off at a bodyshop
