Yellow will look great. I did yellow on my arctic blue pearl RSX and it looked amazing:

With the wheel replaced:

Orange... if you could get Imola Orange, that would rock.

Orange and blue are complimentary colors.

Go with yellow.

What type of paint do you use to paint the calipers?

I think any sort of high temp. paint will work ok. They sell paint for engines that people have used. There are also universal kits sold to paint calipers. Rick Hesel, a board sponsor, also sells pre painted calipers, as well as giving you the option of sending in your stock ones for a discount.

I purchased a high-temp paint recommended for engines and then methodically went at it. My calipers on my RSX looked really good in person. I got lots of comments on them before I traded it in for the S.

I decided not to do painted calipers on the S2000, because as great as they looked, it was too much work for me. I'm a lazy bastard!
