You have a Black Coupe, Black 19's. I say go with...

Black. Unless you want the attention, Gold. Blue doesn't work/more for White, Silver Coupes.

I'm going with Black this Spring. Winter is here, no point doing it.

Red is the best color in my opinion. Red is also the original color of Brembo calipers Are you painting them yourself?

If you plan on taking your calipers apart, any hi-temp paint like VHT or Dupli-Color will suffice. If you plan to brush paint them while they're still on, Dupli-Color sells a hi-temp brake caliper paint kit which has a brush, paint and a cleaner.

Dupli-Color Caliper Kit (BRUSH): http://www.autobarn.net/capawicekitb.html

SPRAY: http://store.summitracing.com/...cp104

But, you can just head to your nearest automotive store and pick it up for $14.95. That's what I paid at a local Checkers.

I had much better luck with the brush on vs. the spray. Jack up one side of your car & take both rims off. You can go back & forth putting layers on the calipers.
