Any colour you like really. Do you have theme in mind? I've gone green on my calipers (factory mags, black car). I've just used Duplicolor touch-up spraypaint, there's a huge range of colours and it's perfectly ok for calipers, mine have been painted for over a year now and they still look mint. Good luck, keep us posted with what you decide :-)

Baaaa!! Be different, I dare you!! Even if you do go red, get an unusual red or a metallic or something. I get tired of seeing the same red calipers on all kinds of cars... I'm sure I'm not the only one with this opinion... |

Don't think it needs to be high temp, the chances of you getting the calipers up to the temperature needed to burn paint off are pretty slim. Mine are still fine after a year + I certainly haven't been babying it. If I'm wrong I'll gladly apologise. |

How about a different colour for each calipar? That would be unsual!! But, seriously, I reckon gold or something, don't forget to paint the hubs also! |

I think you could use regular spray paint. The key to getting the paint stick is always in... 1) proper surface prepration 2) using high quality paint 3) spraying with an even stroke, don't be afraid to waste paint.. Gold would look awesome in my opinon with whit caliper stickers and gold hubs. |

The hub is where your wheels studs are, but don't paint where the wheel mounts onto the hub, just around it (the bit you see when the wheel is actually on the car) |

Yeaa, if they are non-painted, they should look shitty and rusty. Or paint the hubs black, then then calipers gold, will look wicked! |

Hubs look good in the same aluminium coloured paint that they originally came in too. |
