Black all day long. These are not particularly "good looking" calipers so I wouldn't highlight them with a color. Black just makes em look clean. Sorry I don't have too many good pics with the wheels on but this gives you an idea.

I wish I had whatever it is that causes a human being to keep their garage that clean. You could eat off the floor!
Your car looks gorgeous. Well done.
I need to retire.

If my garage looked that clean I'd not be allowed to park in it. Nor drive my car ever again if I wanted it to stay looking that good!

Hahah thanks!
The secret is a floor squeegee - I wash my cars in the garage then squeegee the water out essentially cleaning the floor each time!
The floor paint I used it called Rust Bullet and is quite hydrophobic so oil and grease and water beads so it's easy to keep clean. We spend lots of time in the garage - movie nights etc. so it's nice having a clean floor.

Let me guess, you don't have snow and you don't have mud season, right? Although, I do see what looks like a bit of a snow shovel on the wall. But, where is the snowblower and the lawn mower and all the trimmers and the shovels and the spare parts and spare wheels, etc., etc. ???
I suppose we are getting off topic.

Back to the issue at hand - I would love to find a way to keep the edges of the rotors looking clean - ie. not rusted. Actually, what I would reallly like is a paved pad outside my garage to wash on. As it is I am on gravel out there.

Are you sporting a set of 15mm spacers? Nice look.

I cannot imagine washing a car inside; it is so easy to do it right outside the garage door.

Your garage does look super, the paint floor is great. I went the other route and carpeted mine with new (recycled) high quality indoor outdoor carpet. It has held up 20 years and makes it so nice to crawl under the car(s) with a soft ground. Plus it keeps the house clean! All you do is vacuum.

Getting off topic LOL but... I live in MN. We get TONS of snow. I hand wash my cars year round in the garage so the floors get "cleaned" weekly.
I have a back room off the garage which is pretty big - all my tools and extra sets of wheels etc are back there... I don't need any lawn and garden equipment as I live in a city townhouse and that's all taken care for me...
I wash inside the garage because I don't like washing in direct sunlight or in windy conditions or in the rain or in the cold etc etc... I get much better results washing inside. I have a motorized garage screen also that keeps the bugs, wind and leaves/blowing sand etc out..
