I did mine in yellow. I did the caliper paint first, but it came out too streaky for my taste (likely user error). If you go with caliper paint, I'd definitely recommend buying a few higher quality brushes, as mentioned above. I had them powder coated and clear coated a few weeks ago, and they turned out amazing, wish I had gone that route in the beginning. The powder coating only cost $375 after taxes, and was done in 2 days. If you go with any color other than red, I'd also recommend buying the "." decal to go in your 5.0 emblem to match the calipers, it really gives it a finished look. You can see what I'm talking about in the 2nd picture I'm posting. They sell them at Anchor Room.
The first 3 pictures I'm posting of of the car after I had the calipers powder coated, the last 2 pictures are of the calipers after I painted them, before I had them powder coated.

That yellow using powder coat looks nice! I do like yellow dot too in the 5.0.

Go with the bright green. Thatvwould look hot on the orange.

We might be doing the green on my son's silver Camaro. Or purple, his other choice.

I've been struggling with finding the right color to go on my Royal Crimson. I wonder what that green would look like. Anyone have any ideas?

I am about to pull the trigger on yellow, but kinda think the lime would look killer with velocity blue. Most opinions have been for yellow and some have said lime green would look like a drug dealer

Either color will work. Go green!

Today i decided to test fit the new rims on the front to see if they clear the Brembo brakes and everything is fine. I did the same before with the rear and also was as expected.

Also decided to evaluate what color i will be painting the Calipers and did some tests as i decided to avoid the red combination everybody have. The final contenders are the Silver and the OEM Brembo color. The Silver will match perfectly with the rim letters. If i go with the OEM Brembo color i will have to try to get that same color for the rear and cover them with clear for the gloss and paint the cap letters red.

Pics attached to help me decide.

Alright guys, I know some people love them and some people hate them...painted calipers. I have a base 2019 Velocity Blue GT. I am painting the calipers, but stuck on three colors...blue, red, or yellow (debated on lime green). I am assuming a G2 paint kit. Let me hear the I put on color please.

TIA,
I would go with yellow for velocity blue. The contrast of these 2 colors really works.
