    I did gloss black on my Corolla and loved it. Made it so brake dust didn't stick either. They blended in with my black wheels nicely.

    I completely removed my calipers because I had a hard time accessing the rotors to polish them. As an added bonus I saved about 20lbs of dead weight!

    I would choose blue. It is not too flashy.

    I recently replaced my OEM calipers with new units from NAPA. They are black and look pretty good behind my gunmetal FN wheels compared to the factory silver.

    Id take the calipers off completely. Gives a clean "shaved" look.

    Did mine in black.
    Used the dupli color ceramic stuff.
    It’s done well.
    Calipers already had rust wire brushed them and cleaned and paint.
    I’d get it again cheap like 3$ a can.
