I want to paint my brake calipers but dont know what color, or I might go chrome. Any suggestion what would look best on my car below. What are the pros and cons of chrome calipers?

the cons of chrome calipers...
1-you gotta send them off to be chromed and lose your car for a while, unless you core exchange them.
2-you gotta clean them even more religously that you do chrome wheels. and you got chrome wheels, so you know all about that already then dont you.
3-they get fairly hot and its possible they may chip
4-my personal opinion, chrome calipers belong on full blown show cars...i think they would look out of place on your car as it is now, with no kit and fairly small rims. if i had your car i would paint them black cause you dont have another color on your interior yet do you? if i had your car myself i would have all the interior blue and the calipers blue as well.

thats tough with black. . . maybe just regular silver, white, or even red to accent the altezzas?? I'd say go with silver, not as pretty as chrome but more practical and saves time and $$$$.
