Silver w/ black AMG lettering...you could repaint them w/hi temp paint specifically for brake calipers...

I personally like it stock, but that's me.

I've seen that high-temp paint used before, and while it looks good I don't know how long it would last...might it not be better to have the calipers professionally powder coated?

I have 4 wheel disc brakes on my 67 Mustang, and the calipers are powder-coated black...looks good, is easy to clean, and so far has been very durable.
