Both white and black are neutral colors, so just about any other color will fly. But I'm thinking red.

Thnx for the pics
If you were to put a
sticker that said "S2000"
what color would go for?

I have some Black ones that I have purchased but decided not to apply them... I think it looks cleaner without the "S 2000" logo.

I used a dremel to clean up my previously painted calipers and to get a smooth surface for the paint to stick to. I used the duplicolor brush on caliper kit and some decals a friend made for me. Im happy with it.
