Caliper HELP!!!

Need some help here guys..I plan to paint my calipers using the g2 epoxy, but cant decide what color to do. My car is all blacked out as these crappy pics show... but my abl inside is all red and underhood lighting is red as well.

So im tossed up between Black and Red. Im thinking black but scared it wont even be noticable...Opinions please.

Thanks

Well it looks like you're all murdered out, so I'd go with black if you're trying to keep the murdered look... true murdered= all black... adding red means not true murdered. IMHO

I say red. The gray doesn't matc and if you go black, you won't even notice them. red gives it just a touch of color and would be a good contrast IMO.

Id be open to other opinions as well...i.e. silver, white, gold....just need some advice...definitely dont want any other "bright" colors like green or yellow, because it will clash with the red interior/underhood theme i have. Thanks

Would have said red if I knew about the interior/underhood theme... kinda need to add the details when asking questions...
