Caliper Paint Color
Hey guys, I want to paint my calipers. I have an albaster white w220 with chrome 20 inch rims. Just got it lowered using links and STAR. I was thinking of painting them white to match the car, but then I think red would stand out more. What do you guys think?

I didn't mean buy new AMG brakes. I'm sure if you looked hard enough you might be able to find a pretty cheap used set. I just think if you are going to have red calipers they should be "big brakes". If you paint your stock calipers you are just drawing attention to something that is really nothing. People are going to say wow look at his brakes and walk over for a closer look and be disappointed that it's just your stock brakes. I'm not trying to flame it's just my opinion. I just like to do things right from the start ya know?

Whatever there's gas in...
My calipers are yellow, I really like the unique look and I get compliments on it more than I thought I would. (Not saying it's for everybody)
