bright red is gay...plus your brake dust collects on em and makes em look "dirty red"...paint them black

Paint it whatever the hell color you want. Nothing wrong with red IMO. If you like red, go with red. Ask your girlfriend what she thinks. If she likes em maybe you'll get some.

If you have 2-piece calipers, you can do two different colours....



Not a lot of people do it, so I painted them like that to be different. Now they match the Alpinestar Honda F1 driving boots I want.
