Go red. Red and Black are a good combo and will really pop....

My gauges??? what do my gauges have to do with my calipers.. I can alway repaint my gauges... ATM they are silver OEM back rs2 blue needle and all light up with... But I plan on modding my gauges faces so that its black white and red =D with possible Red or Black with white tip needle... LOT OF IDEAs going thru my head for colors.. as for high heat yeah I know.. I used them on my headers and exhaust.. I think dupli color makes a caliper paint kit.. I havent looking inside to see whats special about them...

The Dupli-Color kit is very good for the price. MORE than enough paint to do 4 calipers with several coats. The cleaner/degreaser they include is excellent as well. The paint takes a while to dry which is the kits only downfall. I highly recommend it...

I have also seen people get creative and get vinyls made like TRD or Brembo to put on the calipers, hey whatever floats their boat...

Posers.
Paint is one thing, putting a high-end label on them is pure poser.

RED.... and plus 1 on Duplicolor kits, cheap and really effective... I'm doing the drums on my mini in black, now that I need to hide the "old" look of them...

Three coats of the duplicolor and the calipers will look smooth and very sweet...
