I have a silver car too and can't decide what color to paint my calipers. I've also considered that blue do you know the paint code? It looks similar to BMW monte carlo blue. My other choice is Lambo verde Ithaca but I'm afraid it might not look good on a silver car. I'm just waiting for it to get warmer to paint them already have the AMG decals in black, silver, and white.

Red is out, too common and won't go well with black wheels IMHO. Yellow is also a little too common. Like I said id like something outside the norm. Nope not doing them myself, I way too nit-picky to trust myself. I'm having a local shop called Accutint (Lynnwood) do it.

What do you guys think of copper? Like those carbon ceramic calipers I posted.

I do like the blue the new M5's have. Would look great on your silver. You also cannot go wrong with the caliper color of the Carbon Ceramic brakes from the SLS (copperish)

Blue & Red & Orange is fine, they are shining in daylight, but they will not that good view in night,

Yellow or lemon Green is great appearance in both daylight & night.....

ZAYED,,

The green calipers that justinwrock had on his e55 was beautiful. But I dont know how it would look against a lighter silver since his car was flint IIRC.

My buddy's F10 M5 has those blue calipers posted earlier and they're beautiful against his alpine white and I'm sure it would look amazing against silver as well. In for pics!

Does anyone have any pics of green calipers? Preferably on a blue or black opal car?

I was thinking of going green with mine, although I want to go with a slightly more metallic green than that acid green. Great choice though!!!

You should go with the burnt copper, it's the rolling shot picture you posted.
