Do you really need to ask if White is bad for showing up black/grey brake dust? lol

im sure it will look nice, maybe a little retro? but whatever color you go for, it will eventually get brake dust all over it. just gotta remember to clean them now and then

Painting calipers is more hassle than its worth!
Mine are a faded red/brown colour after my trackday and now they look *****!

What colour is your car Scott?i would imagine white calipers would get pretty dirty pretty quickly given what i have seen with cars with white wheels.
