well if you look at my engine bay, i have red grounding kit, red samco coolant hose kit, and painted my 2 battery covers red/white. Since I got the red/white theme going, i'm going w/ red paint. Other color's I have seen either look gay or just dont work. IMO guys, painting caliper's black keeps them looking OEM and Id rather have em silver to match my rotors. But thats just my .02!!

I would say either black, dark blue, or red if you want a racey look.

byrnie,

since you know so much about cars, why'd it take you 2 hrs to swap out your sidemarkers?? OWNED!! not to mention samco hoses are much better than OEM and are made from silicon and resist heat and wear better and sell for about $160 for a set...now if you take your OEM hoses and paint them red trying to pass them off as SAMCO, or any aftermarket hoses...THATS RICE!!! The term rice is used when you try to pretend you have something that you dont...painting calipers can seem like your attempting to pass them off as a BBK. This get's even worse if you paint them gold and put a brembo sticker on them. Battery covery's are not seen and they are simply engine panels and are not used to pass off as a performance part. get your facts 2gether before you use 'OWNED'!!!

Dang P, take it easy on the newb - he still is learning to drive the car after all. That's what he gets for only using it to drive between home and work. He shoulda bought an Altima... then he could stick on whatever spoiler, clear corners, and caliper paint he wants without ruffling our feathers - ha.
