Caliper Color and Wheel Combination

Caliper Color and Wheel Combination
Sorry to everyone for posting another thread about caliper colors. I need rotors and pads on the front so I have purchased the following:
EBC Ultimax Rotors (hope they are quiet)

EBC Ceramic RedStuff Pads
This G35x is from midwest so the calipers have a lot of salt damage/rust. I did a trial run with a rear caliper and was able to sand the rust off and the surface came pretty clean. I painted it Sliver with the Duplicolor caliper paint. It looks alright, but don't really like the silver color.
So when looking at the front calipers, I searched Google for images of yellow stock calipers and ran across this picture:

The only change I was going to make was painting only the middle big part of the caliper yellow and the other part (bar and outsides) black.
These are also the wheels I am looking at:

Thoughts? I think it will look good.
EDIT: When doing this I will take off the calipers and separate the two pieces so sanding/painting them two colors is no issue.

OP you can get a Brembo setup from 03-04's G35 6MT's if you want to get the BBK look without the BBK price. They can be painted red and look pretty nice.

Here is a good example of silver done right; albeit, i'm not feeling the Infiniti decals. But I'd take these calipers, even with the Infiniti decals, over red/blue/yellow/etc. stock calipers any day of the week.

Thanks, I will probably just buy new stock calipers now that i live in AZ and they should stay pretty clean. It's not that I wanted to paint them, but more they look horrible from the salt/rust damage.

Of if you were talking about a Brembo setup, you'll have to buy the supporting components too (rotors, pads, etc). It's not just plug-n-play with the calipers.
Good luck.
