Don't like mixing colours personally, so I would say your choices are : Silver,Black and Sprinty Silver if your car is standard Blue if you've a body kit black if you've black wheels and a stealth look.

I just don't see the red on blue working well I'd paint them Sprinty Blue too Or... paint them gunmetal grey and have your alloys painted grey too like the LE alloys. The smokey grey alloys look great on Sprintys

it depends on your personal pref matey,
imo (and my opinion only lol) i dont like painting most of the car 'details' all in one colour because the eye isnt able to pick up that detail as easy. if it was a mix of sensible colours then it allows people to pick up all of those different aspects quickly.
red is a little bit too... loud for a sprinty imho something more subtle like a darker blue? possibly a grey?

I cant think of a better colour than silver for a porto's calipers...
many more colours go well with sprint blue though.

Sprint blue shouldn't have sprint blue calipers. It looks wrong and you can't get VHT paint in srint blue AFAIK. I'm a fan of the red but do wonder what they'd look like with black calipers and white brembo stickers. I might just have to try it.

I did mine with normal paint and petrol resistant lacquer and they're still fine.

Well sorry Pinin but I don't like them. Each to their own mind. Matt I saw Suba's calipers turn gold after a trackday. These damn things are taking forever to refurb so i'd like to do it just once.... yes i'm lazy.

i think silver, with a pale gold laquer would look good on a sprinty bloo coupe, not talking chavtastic gold, but just so it looks an almost champagne colour in the right light, but most of the time appear silver - with black graphics.
think ive been thinking about this far too much.....
