What color OEM calipers on IP?

http://picasaweb.google.com/kyle.spe...G35IvoryPearl#

Trying to figure out what color calipers would look best on my 06 Ivory Pearl coupe. I'm wanting to paint them. Silver looks good on some that I've seen, but am unsure what would look good on IP /w OEM 19's. I'm also looking into painting the bare area on the rotors as well (to prevent the surface rust). Black, silver, or grey obviously on the rotor. Thinking black, silver, or orange on the calipers.

Suggestions for caliper and rotor color for IP?

I think painting them is fine, but it shouldn't be noticeable.

I would do silver for both the rotor hats and calipers.

silver and silver, if your car was black or really any other colour i would say you can paint the brakes black, but don't do it black

Stock looks good to me. Anything painted (other than silver or maybe black) looks out of place to me.
