Opinions required - brake calipers colour choices

Messages

I'm leaving a couple of parts to the powder coaters in the coming days.
I had my Champ White FN2 alloys re-done by the boys at IC Powdercoaters Ltd. and am very happy with the results now they're back on the car. The alloys are standard white 18s.
I'm looking for inspiration and colour ideas for painting the brake calipers.
Yellow might be cool.

I'm also taking a rocker cover down to get re-done, I'm thinking the wrinkle-red Honda would be hard to beat. White? Yellow?

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Any colours you've done that worked well (pics appreciated)?
 
Do you have a CW car or just the wheels? Red through white spokes looks nice. Sky blue or silver for me.

This one is mine.
 
How about this?
E-tech black gloss plus Humbrol enamel silver & red to highlight TYPE R

Would compliment black mirror caps

I like that. Maybe the reverse, white with black writing. Those look good though.

I can see that working, black Type with red R matches the badges.
You might need to get the calipers really clean so that any defects don't show through the white paint.
That's partly why I did mine black.
 
Can't wait for the photos.

Helpful to put a location in your ID in case we might get to meet.
