Default So what color would look nice if I painted my calipers?

I have an 08 NB tc and im thinking painting my calipers red would look pretty nice and would compliment the 08 tail lights really well. Anyone have any pics of NB tcs with red calipers? Or any tc for that matter...and the process is as easy as taking off the wheel, sanding down the calipers, applying the paint, and putting the wheel back on? I would love to do this but im still kind of paranoid that if I take of my wheels and put them on myself I wont tighten the lug nuts (thats what they are called right?) tight enough and the wheel might fall off while im driving Any hints or tips for me since im a beginner at this? Should a beginner even be thinking of doing a simple mod like this with no experience whatsoever?

Check the tech section for a DIY (top of the page -> Features -> Tech).
