Default Painting brake calipers?

Just wondering what people's opinion of painted brake calipers is?
I've been thinking about painting mine red but not sure on how that would look on a pebble beach altima with OEM rims?

i plan on painting mine yellow at some point. I think painting your calipers is a nice touch without being too flashy

Painting rotors is a nice touch, I have mine done in black. Iam not sure about using yellow or red just because you would see more of the brake dust and grime. Make sure you use high temp paint! and your caliper's are really clean.

For that's sandy color, I think a more neutral color would look better. Black, grey or the same color as the car.
