Got round to painting the calipers this week but am undecided on Red or Black? So have painted the rears Red and fronts Black to see which i prefer. I will also be replacing my wheels soon for either black BBS CH-R's or CSL Reps. So whats the verdict? (Keeping the hubs Black):

Silver on your car would look good I think.. :thumbsup:

Sorry I know you asked for Red and Black, if I had to choose I think I'd say red (what colour is your interior??)
 
Interior is black, so doesn't match as well as if it had been red. I like the whole black look keeps it abit 'stealthy' (might try silver retaining clips). Whereas the red ads abit more colour and looks abit more 'sporty' and is quite subtle behind black wheels :?
 
I did mine red and didn't like them. They ooked a bit chavvy:

I much prefer them now, having painted them silver:

Black. Is it OK to paint the face of the hub? I would have thought that unless you get a perfectly smooth surface this could result in the wheel not sitting flush and create slight wheel wobble?
