What color should I paint my calipers



I am going to do the brakes tonight and I thought I should paint the calipers as well. I don't know what color would be a good choice for an X5.
I find red/blue/yellow fit better a sports care than an SUV but I would like to see your thoughts and pics. Silver would be my choise.
My car color is glod but it might not matter much.

Thanks

I'd say a glossy black since the car is gold. I'd venture to guess that your trim is probably also black. Should look nice.

I would vote for silver. Black might look good but would likely cause the calipers to disappear inside the wheel. If you want them glossy looking use the G2 caliper painting kit. A friend just used it for his Boxster and the red turned out really nice and shiny.
