Should I paint my calipers?

Should I paint them? Would they last if I get those special paint? Here's my future plan. 17 gunmetal rims with shiney lips with red painted calipers. What do you guys think?

Yeahh would be great in red! Don't buy any expensive high temp paint...I experienced a lot of paint sort.....and just buy some metal paint....antirust metal paint..like tremclad....it lase and when well done it look nice! Like I've said...I tried like 10 sort of paint on some other car I had....and tremclad is the best for calippers trust me!!!

EDIT : hey I like those wheels you have on your car...why don't you keep them...??

Ehh...I dont know, after awhile you get tired of em'. Plus I want something shiney on my wheels.
LOL, I love looking at shiney cars next to me. I like looking at my own car's reflection [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I painted mine dark bronze metallic, its just dark enough so you can't really see the callipers/drums. The red would probably look good with the gunmetal rims too.
