Since you're already highlighting with blue, I'd use blue on the calipers. Silver might vanish since the body is silver. The blue would stand out more and match your existing theme.

Blue, I think silver would look like you didn't even do anything under there.

I definately think I'm in the minority here, but I actually prefer the red with a Monte or Chevy badge.... The blue would be cool and match the decor, however I think Red screams raw performance... Just a thought... Good luck and post pics of your choice, I'm sure either way it will look awsome...

well i got 2 calipers painted before it started raining today. so the others will be done tomarrow. here is a quick sneak peak of the process.. did the whole passenger side today..







While i was watching paint dry i figured id polish and clean the wheels inside and out.. considering i had them off the car and it makes it 10x easier.
