Default What colour are your calipers?

I have removed the front suspension off my car to get it powdercoated, thats all getting done in black, But I don't know what colour to paint the calipers, I was thinking of gold as that is similar to the origional colour from the factory.
any thoughts?

Mine are red, done by previous owner. Will be black when I get around to painting them though.

How did you get a set of APs to fit in standard wheels
What calipers and discs? and did you need spacers?

I added spacers, just cleared the calipers by 2-3mm
but I've forgotten how thick the spacers were

I hope choosing gold is the right thing to do, only choose it cos it is similar to the original factory finish.
will no next week when the bits come back from the powder coaters
