What color should I make my calipers?
Just got new wheels and the calipers need a makeover. What color would look good? Car is alpine white e93, antique brushed copper wheels, cf trim, red tails, Dakota interior.

Gonna sound weird but how about Alpine white matching paint? Ya never see white calipers but I'm thinking it could look cool behind those wheels. Or maybe I just need another drink, your call.

I've never been a fan of painting single piston calipers a noticeable color. It's one thing if you have some nice Brembo or other multi-piston calipers, but ugly single piston calipers shouldn't have much attention drawn to them. Stick with silver or black.
