Orange. With red there's too many colours flying around.

Agreed. Orange would be cleaner, more unique, and would really pop. :)

Go for orange. Although I think it would be difficult to match the body colour.

YUP i found this brand called VHT which also makes caliper paint, just like G2 and duplicolor, the color is called real orange and it's only a bottle of paint unlike g2 which is a kit. I ordered from peter/nextmod, pm him for price

The orange won't match your car but whenever I have the money to do my calipers I will be doing orange as it's my favourite colour - that is unless I get the orange rims I want. Orange FTW!

Pics when you've got it done!

i was looking for the paint in the can where i can use a brush to put it on, rather than use spraypaint

i would go with black because it might be hard to have a perfect match with your car paint.... but between red or orange i would chose orange too :P

here is how it turned out, looks really nice in person and props to Allen and his crew.
Sorry for the shitty phone pictures, it suppose to be sunny, but I don't know why it looks cloudy in the pic...
