    Black. Unless you have some big brakes I don't see the reasoning behind making them stand out even more.

    I would go with black.....also depends on if you have any pin stripes on the car. I painted mine blue and I have a medium gulf blue Daytona. I wish I would have went with black or gray as the two different shades of blue clash. However, I am too lazy to pull it all apart and change the color.

    Black or silver, if your painting stock single piston calipers red you might as well just buy the tin "brembo" clip on covers off of eBay. I can see wanting them to look clean in the wheels but red, yellow, green or any other crap on stock cast calipers is ricer.

    I vote red calipers for a red GP for sure. I know red is the most common color on many colors of cars, but they look best on a red car. I'm going to paint my calipers on my navy blue GP. Silver or black are the only two colors that would look good that I know of.

    I say black, it looks clean. I would do red only if you had some big cts-v calipers. No need to make the tiny one piston caliper stand out. Also, paint the center hub of rotor black, with black calipers. I did that on my white grand prix. looks clean

    I would have done a silver maybe. but the red does look good. My GP is gray and I think I might paint mine blue.

    I'd say between silver or black. Would look good as an accent color. I have a '05 grey gp just like his ^ and since I'm a girl I'm doing metallic pink

    id paint them red, the only reason to paint your calipers is to make them stand out, if your going to paint them black which is unnoticeable you might as well leave them unpainted which is also unnoticeable
