Default To paint my calipers. Rice or not?

I've been thinking Black Sunshine could use some color but where do you add something like that on a monolitic big black box? So I got to thinking, why not paint my brake calipers red. That would give me some minor color and break up the monochrome color scheme I have going on.

What do you guys think? Would it look nice, or would it look rice?

I like it, I have painted the calipers on on my vehicles (haven't gotten to the JK yet). Remeber you can do more than just red. I did my car with red calipers, my wifes car i did in a nice silver (believe it or not it stands out and looks good) and will probably due the JK calipers in dark green. There are a few companies that actually have caliper paint out there that holds up well and brushes on (much better way to do it). Good luck and you have my thumbs up!!!

I think if you have to ask the question that you already know deep down in your heart that it's "The San Fransisco Treat", but hey to each his own.

If I was to ever paint calipers or suspension parts, there's only one color. Chassis black.

That's what I would do, and have done in the past.
