Chicken ****... Once you try black, one never goes back! Not so, I tried a black cat once...
And I never went back to black. BTW, that was in Vegas many moons ago when I was still young, stupid and immature. LOL.
However on the caliper thing, <b>go black</b>. Not only will they not discolour, but it is easier to clean, you see a lot less of the brake dust on a black caliper.

Silver hides nicks and chips. Red and Yellow are played out with the ricer crowd IMO.

G2, no T in the name...
I used the red on Moro Blue. I like the red, but that is personal prefrence. It was easy and came out pretty good. I also added the B7 caliper spring clips to finish them off. Nice look for not alot of $$$.

i've always liked red and dont think its ricer being most super/sports cars...
like vetts, vipers, ferrari etc come that way. I did however see an S6 (oem) painted black with the silver caliper spring covers and it look sweet. I'm stuck right now myself b/t the two...
