I went with black. Couldn't bring myself to paint stock single piston calipers an obnoxious color.

I def wouldn't recommend using the vinyl on the calipers I am sure the heat would not be good to it. Secondly, I would go with High Heat Caliper Paint they sell it a bunch of places I have seen many colors of it available at WalMart, Autozone, Advanced Auto Parts, and they come in most the common colors red, blue, green, etc. Only advice on painting calipers that I can give you would be take them totally off the car to do the job makes it much much easier and make sure you do a good job they really look nice when you take your time great cheap easy mod!

I went with red. Picked up a brush on paint kit from OSH for like $15.
