well, i've got matte black, so gloss black might be a little off for me though.

i recently painted my calipers black, and i think they look great!

IMO though, i think painted drums is not flattering!

Im probably doing mine this weekend and will be going with black because it matches everything and i dont really want to draw attention to my calipers but i want them to look nice.

Go PINK!!!! it would look sick on a black civic with black rims and dark *** tints, just my opinion though your civic is silver
