What color should I paint my black BMW X5's brake calipers?

Jul 26, 2010 by Matthew | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I have a 2001 black BMW X5. The wheels are simple silver metal. They are not shiny. They aren't really chrome. I was thinking that the calipers would be painted red, but maybe yellow or even black. The brakes themselves are silvery grey.
