And my car is Ashen Grey Metallic so I like the red to add a little pop in color.
For silver I'd go with black calipers - although it's not as fun as blue or yellow etc. Maybe look at some C6 or C7 vettes for inspiration. I know they have nice factory blue, yellow, red, and black color options for brake calipers.

Thanks for the opinions.

Yeah I can see them. Not too bad looking!

For SIM, pretty much any color would look good.

Personally, I'd go with a subtle color. Bronze, Silver, or Black. Maybe a dark red or dark blue.

Do you have an accent color already?

I really love how your Camaro looks under the hood. Very clean, with just the right amount of pop!

Not really just a carbon fiber wing, gloss black wheels, and a red tow hook that can be painted. I'm thinking that bronze will look good.

Well I tried the next step in my journey to solve my a/c problem.
Hooked up the autozone vacuum kit to figure it all out.
Pulled 25 and as I let it sit for an hour, it dropped to 15. So clearly I have a leak.
Guess the search continues with now tracking down where the leak is coming from.

Also loving how the red calipers turned out.

It does look good.

Installed a ported 76mm throttle body. Surprised how much of a difference it made.

That turned out very nice!! Love the red for the calipers. Powder coated mine Lollipop Red, matches the Camaro almost right on!!

Ditto! The gold is tastefully used.

However... Does it ever get driven?!?! That's sooo clean under there!!
