Painted Calipers Suggestions?
I am looking to get my calipers painted after I receive my car. Anyone have any good suggestions on any colors? Or any tips for getting them painted(Not done by myself, I will ask the dealership for a good bodyshop).

A lot of people like red, yellow or blue calipers because they stand out.
Personally, I prefer the monochromatic look - silver calipers, especially on a dark colored car.

I just thought it would have been an obvious feature to have for the C43 having them coloured red/yellow esp in the coupe as it stands out. I would say more owners would rather have that than the conservative silver.

I have a white coupe. I would have loved my calipers to have been red or yellow. Mine are silver as well, but I find them rather plain, they dont stand out as much imo.

I agree they should offer colored brake calipers as an option- every super car has colored brake calipers, Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo even BMW is using a light blue on the M series.
I would do mine either Ferrari Red or the Fire mist orange.

Leaning towards RED, just because I would love that racing red look. I do like your BLACK suggestion a lot too. Spoiler, side skirts and roof is all glossy BLACK.

P.S. I have a selenite gray 43 that I have spent time and money going full carbon fiber trim on. The red is gorgeous with this color car. Carbon pieces from RW Carbon (front lip) & Mode Carbon rear diffuser & spoiler.

For that shade of grey I'd go with a shade of blue, or possible even a green. GL OP.

Actually I have the same question, going to paint them but cannot choose the color. Leaning towards the gold ones that comes with the ceramic brakes usually, but for any decent suggestion would be appreciated.

White car, go with Black or Red. You cant go too wrong with this.

Everybody does red, it’s become almost comical to see them on run of the mill cars, and in my opinion has taken the cachet out of red. I had a white bmw and went with a copper colour and it looked very distinctive. I would go with something in that colour range of gold etc rather than simple red. Add another $0.02 to the pot.

Best ones I've seen are the Porsche neon green and yellow.
I would avoid Red...
