Red car, what color Calipers?

[BlitzPuppet]

I painted my calipers black, but that didn't last long (look gray now)what color should I paint the calipers if my car is bright red. (keep in mind I have rear drums, so I'm gonna leave those black.

i think a glossy black with a white or red camaro decal or something like that would look good

how do i paint the rear drums? i think it would look sweet if i painted that in addition to the front calipers i'm gonna paint

[SuprSpdDB7]

to paint the rear drums: clean them w/ any regular engine cleaner, use a wire brush, make sure you get everything really really clean...
let it dry completely... take caliper paint (well that's what i used, i found it at AutoZone) painted it, waited 15min then then painted it again, (i waited and painted I think 4 or 5 times) to get a thorough, consistant red...

dont paint the drums man.... only the calipers in the front...... painting drums is going to far imo... plus its shows u have a v6 in the dark......
