I'm thinking I am going to paint mine blue or yellow this weekend. It seems like an easy enough project. They weren't too visible when I had my style 19s on, but I can really see them with the m pars so they need to be painted.

I never got the painted stock caliper thing - screams cheap. Maybe a good cleaning instead?
None of the examples strike me as something I'd want to do.

Thank you all for your input!
I decided to go with silver caliper paint from VHT The process was fairly simple. I need to do some hard braking to get over spray off. I like the way it turned out, its not very flashy and it blends in well with the look of the car.  Front  Rear

Its not the calipers but the wheel. White on white. Anything else will fall into place!
