Happy Easter from northern Ontario.

In the process of deciding what color to paint my calipers. I don't want to do the typical "red",I want it to be different.

I was thinking lime green or even a bright yellow. Black is always a solid choice also. What do you think?

If red is out, black if you want to be subtle, green if you don't. I'll be blacking mine out later this spring
Nice rims btw

Given the colours of your car, I think Black or White would blend nicely. The two are in the same colour spectrum as your rims/exterior.

Never really thought of white, will give it a shot and see.

Thanks guys

getting mine done this week, black car with black rims and I am leaning towards white or light blue.

I think both look good on a black/gray 3.

I think if OP wants to go with the Monster Energy Drink look, it would be perfect.

Orange would pop... or you could do a fade red to orange to yellow...

I've always liked the yellow and black combo.

I've always liked the brand new look of calipers. The dark gray. Even a gunmetal gray, so it looks brand new season in and out. Crisp and new, just my opinion.
