Choose a color that is not common.

leave them alone. With stock calipers, less is more.

haha oh I didn't even realize his car color. then I would do silver. Black and red is a really good color combo my car is silver with red calipers and it looks hawt, but yea it's lame it's a common color. you could do like a dark blue.. like navy

I wouldn't paint them IMO. It'd just make it look ghetto, like Honda guys painting their rear drums red. Whether you get a good quality rattle can or not, I think it'd still be noticeably painted. But to each his own, and if this is what you want vs. upgrading your brakes then go for it.

Unless you have a BBK paint them black! That will look clean on your OB coupe....

black looks best on any color imo. its subtle yet changes the oem look a little. i did black with a good caliper paint and was sure to wash them thoroughly before hand and turned out great.
