Default What color would look good to paint my brake calipers?
I have a stock 1998 v6 mustang that is a brilliant blue in impeccable condition. I am getting The Mach 1 wheel with 275/40/17 tires in a week & I want to paint my calipers. I just don't know what color would look good....

Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

I think the same color as the body color would look best.
