Lightbulb Painted Calipers.... Mega Post ???

I am going to paint my factory bravarian rims black and I was thinking of maybe painting the calipers while I am at it. The problem is I'm not sure this would look good or whether to go with red or another color. My car is Summit White.

Since I haven't seen a thread devoted to painted calipers, I thought it would be a good idea to start one and make my decision from looking at other members pictures.

That being said


So please post your pictures and Thanks in advance!

Red looks great on almost any color. it will look great with a SW car and black wheels.

How much were those rotors? Those are sweet.
Anyone have copper calipers? Like brand new penny copper.

Copper would look good on the right color car.

I painted my rotors myself.

The white calipers look good with those rims... I don't think it would look good on my stock bravarians painted black. Btw what is the color of those rims, grey metalic or something like that? I like it.
