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.

it's nice and rice. if your not carefull you'll look to much like a ricer. let us know what color your looking at. if i did something like this i would match my paint. Rescue green.


the the 15's are going to hide my calipers pretty well. so no point.

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.
