Im undecided if i should paint my calipers. what do people think?
Also if i was in unsure what color. Should it be red like my car or blue?
Lastly should i use the proper brake caliper paint or would hammerite be good enough?

if your cars red then red is the obvious choice, gold is also good, but i like the idea of black, ill also be painting the hub, the aloys covers it but ill know its rusty lol, i like the descreet look

Go for contrasting colours to make them stand out. My car is silver with anthracite wheels, so I'm thinking yellow as it contrasts the wheels and body colour.

As for paint, Hammerite is fine.

your alloys show alot of the calipers so red would be best

got a red car and just had mine done red - looks great.

think the matching colour works with red - if car was black or something then the contrasting options work also.

Do a few google image searches and see some examples
