Car is black and rear calipers need to be replaced so would end up matching the front

I would like to think my answer would be black, but even that could get dirty.

I have red C5 Z06 calipers and they get dirty in no time at all. If I had my druthers, I would buy the standard, unfinished C5 calipers in natural aluminum finish so i could blast them with brake cleaner and not care at all about the gloss paint.

Yeah Black even get dirty but I guess it would not be as noticeable..

One of the above 2 schemes will be done on them I just need to decide which way to go

I have always thought Black calipers look best.

I'd go with black, Jeff. Your Z is gonna be outstanding!!!

you know I first wanted red, but the more I look at the black/red I do like that a bit more

Re: Caliper color.. Red or Black??
 

I like red. Your car is black so it will be a nice change up with those refreshed wheels.

Re: Caliper color.. Red or Black??
 

Black with the Red all the way.

Red with black.......

I believe I'd be inclined to go with a "match" to the wheels rather than a contrasting of either red or black. The "splash"? I believe they might maybe add just to much of what some call "busy". What did you decide for the center-caps for the refinished wheels?

The "match" to wheel color might add a "finished" touch to the project, red/black, black/red, well I just don't get the "splash" on a '90 or earlier project. The '91+ maybe but I'm not much of a "splash graphics" enthusiast anyway. The ZR-1 font of the rear cover badge I do like a lot and prefer to any "splash". The C6 "CORVETTE" font of the Z06 calipers looks a bit out of place also I believe.
