Silver. It just makes it look new. It's subtle, so nobody really notices.

Black.

You didn't tell us what color your car is, so how can we really make good suggestions?

^Dude, YOU asked for opinions. Don't beat him up for offering an opinion, that doesn't make sense.

Also, none of us knew you had brembo brakes. That makes a difference.

What about brembo gold?

None of us have huge spoilers so I don't know who you're referring to. And those weren't even your calipers so chill out

Don't understand why everyone says don't paint stock calibers. red,yellow, any loud color ok, but blk, silver,or gray. Why not make it look cleaner. Cause it does....... It's like if you don't have big breaks then can't paint them.... It's RETARDED.............. If you want to paint stock calibers to make it look cleaner then go for it....... NO LOUD COLORS THO.....

First of all, "everyone" isn't saying that, so don't generalize. The OP asked about painting them red, and red would look stupid on some little OEM calipers (this was before we knew he had Brembos). The general consensus here and in the other 147 threads about painting OEM calipers is that black, gray, or silver are fine, but anything else is rice, and the comments in this thread pretty much back that up.

I'll just ignore all the yelling in the rest of your post because it's obvious you're busy fighting that strawman you created.
