I would go blue to match your car. Red will look like your tryin to pretend you got fancy name brand calipers.

Don't do blue, that would be way too much blue. The blue of your car is a very hard color to offset, so I agree with red or black

lots of place fit with that blue. Tinted windows, darker wheels, black calipers, etc...

Re: Painting The Brake Calipers...Color?
The blue is not going to match and will then look awkward imo. I'd go with high gloss black or high gloss dark grey.

Is there a good place to find different color for caliper paint? I found some in spray can, but i prefer to do it with a brush. I'm looking for teal for my Jetta.

Black it is. The car needs some contrast, not color matching.

The car will be ruined with Blue, and the Red will just look awful. Definitely safe with black, a matte silver with a maybe a red S-Line decal will look nice.

I would go with black with a nice pair of shoes it should look good. Red and blue I think would make your car look kinda ricer.

I'd go black. Yellow would probably look decent too but I know it's too "showy" for some people.
Heres my friends B7 that we did yellow calipers on. Crappy pics but oh well.

I think I can exclude red and blue and go with the black or silver.
But then the question is black or silver, black is a pretty neutral color
and with the silver they are gonna look factory new
hmmm

I'd say black or silver, but since the wheels are silver and have a lot spokes it might blend to much. I went black, I'm one who believes red should be reserved for bbk

for those of you who have done this already, did you remove the caliper or just cover everything else up? also what paint is that black one with the sline decal?

Black or Silver. Cleans up the brakes without being too flashy. You need a BBK to pull of any other color.

Re: Painting The Brake Calipers...Color?
Beautiful. Good choice. B5 perches or something to get the front a tad lower, and some spacers and it will look even better! Don't see too many DTMs and fewer in that color.
