I have always liked just plain black, but then again I am a big fan of hiding stuff like that. I don't want people to stare at my calipers, my sway bar, or my control arms, and so on.

I think any color other than black looks tacky, I never understood the facination with painted calipers anyways.

Red! if you paint..but I didn't know how painting them would hold up,so...I put a wire brush on a drill and brushed the UNO-What outta them down to bare metal.I'm pleased w/what I ended up with
