Opinions - Best Caliper color for a silver car?

[javis20]

I have a silver 2011 Z4 with MSport package and Red leather seats. What would be the best caliper color? Stick with silver or go red to match the seats?

both would work, I did mine silver in the end (didn't want them to stand out, just to look fresh)

Looks really nice in silver. Did you also also use a clear gloss coat?

I went silver.

Hi Op

Silver.
Matt silver smooth hammerite in three thin coats, with the last coat if you stipple the finish slightly it dries with a powder coat look.

Basically looks like new OEM callipers.

I suppose it depends whether you want to keep the car looking original, in which case it has to be silver.

But if you want the calipers to stand out then they have to be red!

Would be Black for me.

If they were good looking calipers a bright colour could be good but as they are a bit cack looking silver or black to let them blend in.
Did ours silver a few years ago with brush on caliper paint after stripping them back to as bare metal as I could, need to touch a couple of bits up but still looking good.

BMW logo blue for me or dark metallic grey

Silver gets my vote too, enough of a contrast to look smart but not garish like red, yellow, etc.

Silver it is.
