What color should i paint my calipers?

Alright guys i have a carribean blue g35 coupe. i prob spelled it wrong. But anyways i just repainted the and am doing the brakes and the calipers are chipped so they are gunna get repainted. Just not sure what color, i def dont want the gold(not my style im llooking for). I saw some pics on google images with a cb g35 that has big rims and slammed on the groudn with the calipers painted cb.It looked pretty good. Idk if red calipers would look with blue. let me kno ur guys opinions and if u guys have any pics that would be awsome, thx. Also i finished putting my car together today. it looks so sweet. It has over a 100k miles and i repainted her, blacked out taillights, nismo with cf ducts bumper, gialla cf grille, rear mudguards. Ill post pics in the pic section in a few days its a night and day difference. So plz need some input, thx. also its my first car and i love it.

After 20 seconds of thought I decided you need to paint your calipers CB.
Red and CB don't really look good but CB would look great since you've
already seen this done you know what they'd look like. I painted mine TB
several times but it's so dark unless you're in direct sunlight they look black.
Well....you've got my opinion, what ever you paint them take extra care to
make sure they're super clean prior to paint. Good Luck

I think the bronze/gold looks good, but thats just me. Mine are chipped also, next time i remove them i'll go have them redone the same. I'm thinking the way project mu green would look pretty good. IMO

I would not paint them I would powder coat them. The paint is not going to hold up well.

Definitely powdercoat for a cleaner and long lasting look.
