Painting wilwood calipers

I picked up a front wilwood bbk, the paint had faded so im looking to get them painted but dont know which color to go with. My car is TB, with polished wheels. I was thinking the usual red or color matched TB.

Yellow would look nice but since you are going to paint them, choose a different color. Be different from others.

Yellow my azz, seriously? Raj has this beautiful Twilight Blue coupe with polished rims, the focus should be on his coupe and wheels not his calipers. Mine are painted TB painting them any other color would only cheapen the look of our coupes! Yellow....

+1.

Also, did Willwood paint those calipers in the pics? Because if the manufacturer paints the screws and adjusters (basically dunking the entire product into a paint can), that's just cheap IMO.

The screws should be metallic, to pop.
